Paging Dr. Walsh

Kathryn Walsh '20Katharine Walsh ‘20, spent 9 days of her summer break at the prestigious National Youth Leadership Forum for Medicine in San Francisco, Berkeley after being nominated by Mr. Hayes. Students learn the collegiate lifestyle first hand, learn from doctors, participate in interactive curriculum, test their medical knowledge during clinicals, and discover their passions through hands on medical experiences. 

Katharine elaborated on the experience, “The NYLF for Medicine was an experience like no other. There were so many opportunities to stand out and be a leader and ways to help you strengthen your leadership skills. Learning medical skills like suturing and how to act in a mass casualty incident through the triage system is another way I grew throughout this week. Making amazing friends who are also leaders in their schools and communities was also a great part of my trip!”

We definitely see a career in medicine in Kathryn's future!
