What is a good health-care job with a lot of patient interaction that doesn’t take so long to train for?

goranago asked the question:


I am pre med (I have a high school diploma and BA) and I’m trying to find a job in a health-care field that allows for a lot of patient interaction to give me clinical experience. I do not currently have any certifications other than CPR and first aid. What programs are less than say, 2 months long that can qualify me for such a position? And while I’m at it, what positions do you recommend I try for?
thanks

    phlebotomist is probably your best bet. Everything else I can think of will need either experience or more training.
