AHEC Stories
ELIZABETH EGOAVIL Scholarship Awardee, Nuclear Medicine Technologist
“Thank you for choosing me to receive this scholarship for the past four years while attending OIT. This scholarship helped me complete my degree in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. I became interested in healthcare after my older sister attended OIT for the ultrasound program. She always told me that I belonged in healthcare because of my humorous and positive personality that could bring a smile to anyone's face, even if they were going through a hard time. That’s when I discovered Nuclear Medicine and how it looks at both the function and anatomy of the human body, along with its role in cancer treatments.
Now that I have completed my degree and passed all my state tests, I am excited and can’t wait to help those at St. Ann Hospital in Burien, Washington! My goal is to gain experience, move back to Madras, Oregon, and help those in my community.
Thank you again for your generosity and support!”
