Medical Screeners

Regular interactions with people in a retail setting will give you a general idea of what it’s like to work as a medical screener. You can obtain general customer-service experience by working part-time at a drugstore, grocery store, or in another retail setting. Some medical offices might hire teens to work as receptionists during summer breaks. This would be an excellent way to obtain experience in a medical setting.

Talk to medical screeners about their careers. Ask them why they pursued this occupation, what's the best way to prepare for the field, what they like and dislike about their jobs, and other questions that will help you to determine if this career is a good fit for your interests and skills.
