Im looking for a job or internship within the medical field for high school students. Any help?

There are programs called SEEP,STEP,and SCEP that are for student employment but cant find hospitals or medical centers or anything related to medicine involved like that.|||You're going to have a hard time finding anything related to patient care if you are under 18.





Also, you don't want to use the term "internship" in the medical field - that is a specific term used to describe the first year of residency (training after completing medical school).





I'd suggest talking to your school guidance counselor - they might have more information.|||Pangolin is right; NEVER refer to it as an Internship. That term is reserved for young medical doctors immediately after graduation from medical school. You would probably be booted out of the hospital on your rear if you told someone you were there for your "internship," and it turned out you had not actually graduated from medical school. In fact, visions of criminal fraud cross my mind. As for a high school student, you will not be allowed in anything involving direct patient care. However, you might inquire about the "Candy Striper" program in your local hospital, or spend some time as a hospital volunteer. But at the high school level, you would be restricted to such mundane tasks as distributing newspapers or magazines, or perhaps running little errands to the gift shop for a patient. Again, you would be escorted out of the hospital by security guards if you were caught engaging in anything resembling patient care, even so much as to change a Band-Aid.
