Volunteer Experience

Students wishing to enhance their medically related experience will find a wealth of volunteer activities available in the Boston Medical Center community.  They include:

  1. Clinical and laboratory research opportunities which often offer significant patient contact, a plus when going through the interview process.
  2. Outreach Van Project - Working with Boston area homeless.  This student organized and run activity provides students with the opportunity to go out to local homeless shelters along with a staff physician to provide medical care and assistance to individuals in need of clothing, health care, or simply an “ear” to share experiences.
  3. Boston Medical Center Volunteer Services, including emergency room, pediatrics, and other specialty clinics offering significant patient contact and experience in health care settings.
  4. City Lab - an opportunity to gain valuable teaching experience in a project designed to expose high school students to biomedical science using a bus with a fully equipped molecular biology laboratory to visit local schools and provide hands-on experience to students in the scientific process.
