Due to the current situation, there are not many internship opportunities available in the medical field. However, if I were to do an internship, I wanted to have a more hands on approach to understanding the field of medicine rather than just an online experience. I asked my uncle, who is the the executive vice chairman of the Department of Radiology and chief of the Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology at Columbia University, New York Presbyterian hospital, for advice. He said that if could go back in time and have the time chunk I had to when he was my age, he would get his EMT licensing. This way, I could get real world experience in a way that I cannot do through an internship. I looked into EMT licensing and found that they offer in person and online classes during the pandemic so it would be possible to achieve this. I am hoping to be able to get my EMT certification through an accelerated course during the time of senior project, while I do the independent study on biological systems that I mentioned in my previous post.
