Hello, I'm a rising sophomore seeking guidance on how to begin my passion project. Throughout my life, I've had various career interests, but now I find myself drawn to the STEM/Medicine field. However, I'm still unsure about my specific interests within this field. Can anyone provide advice on how to explore various aspects of STEM and Medicine to discover a passion project or research area? Are there any resources or strategies that could help me narrow down my interests and find a starting point? Thank you!
To explore STEM and Medicine, consider joining clubs, attending webinars, or taking elective courses in various related subjects. Online platforms like Coursera, edX, or Khan Academy offer free courses that can help you explore different areas. Volunteering at local hospitals, clinics, or research centers can also provide hands-on experience. As you participate in these activities, take note of which aspects excite you the most. This will help you narrow down your interests and find a suitable passion project or research area. Stay curious and open-minded. Good luck!
