Need to raise funds to complete a 14 week medical ultrasound hands on training and guarantees a 2 year clinical placement as a Sonographer.

Wellington

I became a mother at 16 years old and continued my education at school for parents I then went onto Victoria University and Completed a Bachelor in biomedical science. I am now specialising in Medical Ultrasound I have completed Part 1 Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound DMU course with Australasian Society for Ultrasound Medicine. To complete part 2 DMU I need to find a trainee position in a hospital or clinic I have applied to all the hospitals I know and clinics though there is nothing available for me as there is a shortage of Sonographers to train people it becomes hard to fill public health needs for Sonographers. I have found a 14 week program in Australia called Australia School of Medical Imaging that runs a 14 week hands on ultrasound program and a 2 year clinical placement that's guarantees work in my chosen career which we are in desperate need of in the community for clinical diagnosis it is a long term skill shortage here in New Zealand and Australia please donate so I can help people get the health care they need thank you

Currently I am receiving government benefit for my children and really want to get into this great career that will see us financially stable. Thank you

I met Amber in first year Bio-Medical Science at Victoria University in Wellington. She told me that she wanted to have a degree so that her kids had something to aspire towards. She finished the degree and worked as a lab technician at several hospitals around the Greater Wellington area. She is hard working, caring and trustworthy, qualities that make her an asset to the health community.
