Hi everyone,

I know this is a long shot but I thought I'd try anyways. I recently graduated with my M.S. in Biology (4.02 GPA) and I'm honestly really struggling right now to find clinical opportunities where I can work directly with patients. I've applied to so many positions but keep getting silence, and as a first-gen, low-income student, I'm feeling pretty lost navigating this process alone.

I previously worked as a medical scribe and it was genuinely the most fulfilling work I've ever done. Now I'm desperately hoping to find similar work in the Bay Area—scribing, clinical research coordinating, anything involving direct patient care. I'm BLS certified with clinical research experience and available full-time.

If anyone has opportunities, connections, or even just advice on breaking into clinical work (especially for FLI students), I would be so incredibly grateful. Working with patients is my calling and I just want a chance to prove myself before medical school.

Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can offer. It truly means the world <3
