How my dreams will comes true ?
My dream is to complete my diploma in nursing and midwifery, with just one year left, and return to my community to open a dispensary. This dispensary will provide essential healthcare services, focusing on treating diseases like malaria, which disproportionately affect children under 5 in my community. I am seeking support in two key areas: firstly, financial assistance to complete my remaining year of studies; secondly, funding to establish and operate the dispensary, ensuring it meets all necessary legal requirements, is equipped with essential medical facilities, and staffed with qualified healthcare professionals. Together, we can make a significant impact by improving healthcare access and outcomes in my village.

Is there such thing as a neuro-oncology lab scientist instead of an actual doctor or surgeon How many years of school do I have to go through for this job?
I'm a rising senior in high school and I don't see myself physically working with patients but rather in a laboratory setting trying to develop treatments for brain cancer instead. Do these types of jobs exist and what is the education required to do so? I am also interested if this sort of career can provide me flexibility and allow me time to spend with my family and enjoy life.

Are there any volunteer opportunities for high school students (Northern Virginia area) under the age of 16, in hospitals, health centers, or physical therapy/sports med offices?
I have seen multiple volunteer opportunities in INOVA, but they are 16+. The only under 16 one I have seen is in Sentara but it is a little far. I am looking for opportunities in the Fairfax area, but maybe as far as Reston.
