Local Student Nominated For Congress Of Future Medical Leaders

PALM HARBOR, FL — Jonathan O'Harrow, a sophomore at Calvary Christian High School of
Clearwater, was a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders Nov. 21-22.

The congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country interested in these careers to stay true to their dream and
provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

O'Harrow's nomination was signed by Dr. Mario Capecchi, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and the science director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Calvary Christian High School based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.

During the two-day congress, O'Harrow joined students from across the country and heard
Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading medical research; was given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what to expect in medical school; witnessed stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; became inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learned about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.

The academy offers free services and programs to students who want to become physicians or go into medical science. Some services and programs the academy offers are online social networks
through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and more.

Based in Washington, D.C., the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution.
