Students also met with current Harvard medical students, who shared insight and advice on pursuing careers in medicine.
Thank you to Dr. Katherine Miller, Erin Farren, Dominic Hall, Livia Rizzo, Leah Savage, and Savannah Layfield for making this experience possible.
Special thanks to SMHS student Katelyn Enos, whose outreach helped form this connection. Dr. Miller now serves as Katelyn's internship supervisor as she pursues a future in family medicine.
