Johns Hopkins Hospital Emergency Department Volunteer Program

[JustThinkingAboutIt]

Has anyone heard about the Hopkins Hospital ED Volunteer Program? It's not anywhere specific on the hospital's website, but I heard from a friend that it's like a legendary program that gives them a bunch of training and they do a lot of things with the doctors and nurses and even round on patients! I'd love to volunteer in the ED and actually do something meaningful, but do I have to know someone to get in or be a college student at Hopkins? Heard they have a special committee for just the volunteers that apply to the ED - is that because they have a ton of people who apply every year or just they're really selective with who they take? And is it all that hype I've heard? What do they even do??

That sounds neat, but this wouldn't make up for any deficiencies in the application such as grades or MCAT. Go for it though if it fits well into your schedule.
