Is there value in taking a slower, experience-based approach to an Occupational Therapy career?
How do you know when it is worth getting a certain level of education? My thought it to get an Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant and enter the workforce. If I wanted to have more responsibility, I could work part-time while doing a bachelor's completion program and master's to become an OT. I want a flexible path where each stage is a useful stopping point in itself rather than getting a bachelor's just because I feel like I should on a certain timeline. Does anyone have experience in this kind of approach, slower, but with more experience gathered along the way to confirm if continuing education would be worth it for ones goals?

How to choose a major properly? Is there a way be sure it is the one?
I'm a senior high school student. I love biology, and math (other science subjects are intersting for me but not fascinating like the ones above). Right now I`m thinking between medicine and biomedical engineering. Anatomy out of all biology topics interests me the most. But I`m also a fan of Math and I think there is not much of it when beeing a doctor. On the other hand, BME is much more unclear for me and not that defined. I`ve read the descriptions and different field they work in, but I`m still not sure if it`s that promising for the future, while being a doctor is clearly shown everywhere to be a great job, with great output. I`d like to know how the insides work in BME, and if there is a way to know if i`ll be interested in it. Would be greatful for any feedback from people working in these fields.

What should I know about studying kinesiology?
I'm heading into my Junior year of HS, and have started to narrow down some possible career options. Currently my main focus is becoming a Sports Med Physician, and majoring in kinesiology before going on to earn my DO at an Osteopathic Med school. Is there a list of pros/cons to studying kinesiology that I should know before deciding on this field? Are there any internship-like opportunities that I should look at getting involved in for these next two years of high school? Anything else that would be important for me to know when deciding my pathway? Because I want to earn my DO instead of an MD is kinesiology the right undergrad pathway, or should I earn my bachelor's in something else?

How can I grow my non-profit and make an impact?
Hi! I recently founded this non-profit called ARNA Project and our mission is to provided healthcare literacy, support and inform student who are interested in medicine or science about opportunities (scholarship, research opportunities, basic knowledge like chemistry, what is neuro disease etc) through educational content posted on social media, and lastly care package send to hospital and mental health insitution as I notice many patients experience loneliness during their worst time so a small care package would remind them that they’re value, seen and support! Currently I’m working on social media and recruitment as we’re newly founded. Some future project I hope to accomplish by 2029 is 1. Care package send to hospital/ mental health insitution 2. A penpal program where kid struggles with mental/physical health can make friend through letter (volunteer) 3. Course/ workshop ( topic is still not decided yet) 4. health care literacy (Medicaid, insurance etc) through flyer in hospital, school, community in different languages 5. A proposed bill making basic healthcare literacy mandatory in high school or elementary ( I think this would be important since hs student is going into early adulthood and it would be great for them to understand their insurance etc) 6. Outreach and maintain sponsorship/partner ship with hospital/ non-profit/ education board etc (policy maker etc) There is more but those are what on our timeline right now. If anyone have any tips like how to build a website, finance, people we can collab with, anyone we can outreach too, etc would be really helpful! As said I am a junior in high school and is really new to this stuff. Any information is worth reading to me!:)

Currently im working on my brief and begining to post on socjal media and getting engagement up by creating "engagement group with other non-profit" ( first post will be next week) Some of my plan is 1, volunteers opportunities through cards making (online) which will be print out and included in our care packages 2. Propose a bill to government to improve mental health institutions ( idea might change) 3. Connect student to more medical opportunities through online post 4. Establish sponsorship 5. Create an executive team 6. Course on medical related Content ( not finalize ) 7. Fundraiser ( restaurant, brand, community event) I am a junior in high school and is new to this stuff but I really want to show an impact and support my community. It would be so great if anyone have any tips on like finance management for non-profit, any organizations worth outreaching to, what document or preparation should I make, content ideas, any person ( journalist, politicians, research, accountants, etc), how to grow my non-profit, legal stuffs, how to outreach to brand, website design/ creating. Anything would be so useful to me! I'm really grateful for your time reading this. I hope to learn in any capacity which then can be use to make an impact! *Note: Edited by Admin to adhere to guidelines.
Biomedical Engineering or PreMed?
I'm a BME student right now, but I've always been on the premed track. This is because I didn't want to just get a biology degree, and I'm also into the hands on stuff. I'm a rising junior, and now, I'm not sure what path to take. Residency sounds like torture, but I fear being in BME is not going to make me money because the job market is smaller and more niche.
