Yes. If you’re planning to become an endocrinologist, it’s very helpful to gain healthcare experience during college. Many pre-med students work or volunteer in roles that expose them to patient care and strengthen their medical school applications.
Some great options include:
* Medical scribe
* Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
* Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
* Medical assistant
* Hospital volunteer
* Clinical or biomedical research assistant
* Patient care technician
* Pharmacy technician
These experiences help you develop communication skills, understand healthcare environments, and confirm that medicine is the right career for you. They also provide meaningful clinical exposure, which is something medical schools look for in applicants. Even part-time work or volunteering a few hours each week can make a significant difference.

During college I worked as an undergraduate and graduate research assistant. It was a paid position and it gave me an opportunity to gain hands on experience in research in my field. The faculty members I worked for provided mentorship and made great references for internships and future jobs.

I was the student secretary for the History department at my university. It was a volunteer position, but it allowed me to gain administrative knowledge. I also got the opportunity to connect with many scholars and professors from other universities. That helped me a great deal with my graduate studies.
