The Premed Perspectives

EP2: How to Learn, Volunteer, and Shadow During Quarantine

Listen Later

In this episode, find out what we have been up to during quarantine. Then, we share opportunities you can take part in from home including how to learn new skills, give back to the community, and gain insight to the medical field! We know  pre-meds and high school students will not be able to do what they planned on, so we hope these resources we mention help you continue to grow this summer!
