[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many pre-meds don't do internships per se, and no one does hands on surgery. There are four major boxes to check that are prerequisites for many medical schools.

Volunteering - 100+ hours, usually much more - This can be anything, preferrably medical related.

Shadowing - Anywhere from 50-200 hours depending on the school. Reach out to any doctors you know and ask to shadow. Do it acrosse a variety of practice types

Clinical - 100+ hours, many do much more. 
Scribing, EMT, medical assistant, phlebotemist, whatever you can get.

Research - 400+ hours for research oriented medical schools, many do much more. Get in touch with research professors at your school. Hard to do for just a summer.

This breaks it down nicely. 
Your child would be wise to meet with an advisor or go to a premedical school planning  session. If you know any doctors, ask them for shadowing opportunities. 
Let tour child handle it. Your OP is so incorrect that your advice is not helpful (and I get it - I do not advise mine either). [/quote]
