Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

They examine and diagnose patients using many different diagnostic tests. They also develop plans of treatment that are best for each individual patient. Hematologists perform many different treatments including blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants, prescribing medications, and chemotherapy. They also focus on the prevention of blood disorders by educating patients and providing supplements and other prevention treatments for those at risk.

What kind of training does a hematologist need?

Hematologists must complete undergraduate education, medical school, and residency training. Prospective hematologists must receive a satisfactory score on the Medical College Admission Test to be admitted into medical school.
