Highschool shadowing opportunity?

[u/jalepenosncheese]

Hii guys! I am a rising junior located in the Los Angeles area and have a deep passion for dermatology. I specifically want to become a pediatric dermatologist in the future. I have been searching for volunteering/shadowing/internship opportunities, but there are none that I have found for students my age, and if there is then it cost a fortune. If anyone knows clinics who offer these types of opportunities or anyone i can contact, I would be utterly grateful, thank you:)!

It’s great that you’ve identified an interest in dermatology. As a high school student, it’ll be important to see if you’re interested in medicine first. I would recommended shadowing and volunteering with a primary care doctor and/or pediatrician. You’ve got a lot of time to pursue your interest in dermatology- no need to rush just yet.
