Pros
Met some amazing doctors and nurses.
Cons
Unprofessional management/leader staff. Emphasis on discipline. Can feel like a hostile atmosphere with all the warnings and threats if you do something wrong. Monthly meetings on weekends when a lot of us have to work. If you can't get out of work that day, you are disciplined. Sorry but some of us aren't living on an allowance. Leaders treat volunteers like children. There is a very condescending attitude at Scholar meetings. We're volunteers, not getting paid, giving free labor to cope solutions and these hospitals. Some appreciation can be shown. You go through all of this nonsense with cope so you can get better exposure at the hospital, but then you watch as some random volunteer who just walked in and asked to help gets to do the same tasks as you. Lesson? If you want to volunteer just go to your local hospital and offer it! You'll get to do all the same stuff as a health Scholar, save yourself some money and avoid all the hoops they make you jump through.
