Any Medical Extracurricular Ideas?
Hello, I'm currently in 9th grade, and my GPA isn't perfect.
To be honest, after seeing the extracurriculars of someone on this platform, I feel behind. I want some ideas on medical extracurriculars. Preferably, related to chemistry (pharmacology), neurology, surgery, or biology.

You should not feel like you are behind at all, you have just started your journey!
For me, during my time in high school, I knew that I wanted to do something in the medical/health/science field so I tried to keep my options as open as possible, just in case I wanted to change my desired profession or major! All throughout high school, I volunteered at a non-profit health organization where I was able to learn various different fields of medicine through many different health professionals. I learned from nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, pediatricians, surgeons, and many others. This was actually my only medical related extracurricular that I did throughout high school and I am now a Neuroscience major at my university!
It’s important to remember that more is not always better. If you can find one medical extracurricular that you are really passionate about and can commit your time and dedication to it, that can go such a long way! Good luck, I wish you the absolute best!
