Pros
You get to meet with a lot of different people and you get into a setting where you can ease into basic patient care. Depending on how well you are at networking, you can make some good friends that can help you with potential employment
Cons
Management runs you like you are getting paid a salary and they don't think that your work or school is important at all when you are volunteering for them. Not only that but it is stupidly expensive to get into the program just so you can stock rooms and do grunt work. You will be expected to have some weekends free because they have these All Scholar Meetings that are mandatory. Having work or an exam is not a good excuse to not go to these meetings and they are some of the most useless meetings you will ever go to. Even though most of the people who volunteer for them are college students, they place themselves higher than college or work on your priority list. This program may sound good because it is at Kaiser but trust me it is not as good as the ads say it is.
