I’m gonna be a junior in high school soon and I want to figure out what field I’m really interested in. Right now, my attention is directed towards the career path of a doctor (internist looks good). The medical field is fascinating to me and I understand that it is also one of the hardest yet most auspicious fields. Personally, doctors still scare the crap out of me during checkups, but I’ve always had a deep respect for and interest in what they do. I’ve been doing some heavy reading on the various types of doctors and what each of their job requires, but I don’t want to base a decision on just what I read. Does anyone know any programs or such for students interested in gaining more insight into the daily responsibilities of doctors/nurses/etc? I’ve heard of an afterschool program where students are taken to a hospital to observe various members of the staff perform their duties, but I don’t even know the name of the program. I live in Los Angeles if that’s any help.
