Q: (Initially posted on March 6, 2003) FROM MENTEE LAUREN C. IN CT
I have found out that the hospital I volunteer at offers a scholarship for college to most anybody who is interested in medicine. I
don't like blood, guts, and gore, so what other jobs are there that have to
deal with medicine?

Lauren,
The traditional medical occupations, doctor and nurse, will bring you into
contact with "blood, guts and gore". There are other ancillary professions
that may not, for instance, radiology technician, repiratory technician,
hospital administration, etc. However, you may want to find out how
specific the shcolarship requirements are. It is also very important to
recognize what profession you want to pursue first and then look for funding
sources. It is usually not a good idea to let someone else dictate what you
are going to do for the rest of your life.
