I am a 'reinventor' coming out of a 7 year biotechnology career. I did most of my schooling in SoCal and a 30/70 split of online and in-person post-bacc when I moved to Memphis. I had a hard time coping with an engagement that fell through right before we lost a close family member to a stroke. Debating to submit this app as-is.

I came away with some stories about meeting and impacting patients and friends despite the soft roles I had there.

~18 hours in Hem-Onc outpatient clinic current but many more on the way (shooting for 50 by EOY)
900 hours - old volunteer experience as a helper and patient transporter at a major surgery center in SoCal.
Starting a scribing job at a major emergency dept. in Memphis... 0 current hours but many anticipated.
200 hours volunteering at a community clinic with underserved
Recently spending a lot of time at senior living communities putting on activities and generally spending time with memory-care residents. ~150ish hours.
Service
Community volunteering at a small non-profit education lab in SoCal for like 1200 hours spread over the first 4 years of my education.
May I please have a school list and some remarks about how to prepare to apply? @Goro @Faha
