What courses should I take in High School in order to get into Medical School? What Advice would you give to an 10th grader that wants to get into the medical field? Could I get a Volunteer Job at a Pharmacy, Medical Office, or a Hospital at 14-15?
I am M/15 I recently got into high school and gets good grades as I achieved high honors. I have been consistent at math, getting 100 in geometry, 93 and above in science and over 93s in all classes including the 5 100s I have. My GPA is a 96-98 average, and I would say I am one of the smartest in the class if not the smartest in Geometry. I study Chemistry in my free time, and I am taking Living Enviromint, but my teacher teaches Biology. Some of the smartest kids in Senior classes come back to my science teacher and thank him. I take chemistry next year and my schedule is full, I don't have any lunch breaks nor any free periods. I have 2 options currently, I used to want to be an engineer and I am actually really good, I fix electronics for a living and help my school with problems. I got offered to be an Intern too at my high school, but since technology changes quick and new certificates come out fast, I don't think it would be good. The medical field is still and barely changes. I Really want to volunteer but have no clue how at 15. Also, What is some procedures/ Classes I should take in Highschool to make it into medical or pharmacy school faster? Thank you!

fresh graduate, need help to go for next step
I just graduated with my biomedical science degree (BS) ( I was thinking to going for medical school, or PA school, or AA school , or vet med school ). My situation has changed, I want to do WFH jobs. I haven't found much jobs I could do, I been applying for clinical research associate jobs... but they are not the best fit, so far all I got are rejection. I was thinking to get into a master program, that would lead me to a WFH job.... I feel like the only program I would be able to do is biostatistic, or bioinformatic. I toke some statistic class in college, used some R... I'm not great at it but I'm willing to practice to get better. I think I need overall guidance and direction... maybe there are different master programs I should be looking for? if anyone have any ideas, please feel free to share. Thank you ahead , Merry Christmas
