Well, you said it yourself that your biggest weakness is no work experience - and there's really no way around that (you can't "spin" it into a positive or anything). All you can do is hope that the adcom reading your application likes you enough to overlook your lack of experience - is it possible? Sure. But likely not.
From a practical standpoint, just do the best you can on the written applications - you'll have to take some big risks in your essays - you can't just play it safe by writing the same old drivel that bores the living daylights out of adcoms.
Traditionally, the handful of PhD types who get into top schools are health sciences folks - so it's not impossible.
