If you are someone who is applying to medical school, you know that competition is fierce. In order to make your application stand out, it is important to have some kind of experience in the medical field. That way, colleges and universities know that you are serious about your career path, and you will gain valuable experience. This can be through volunteering at a hospital or shadowing a medical professional.
