MAHS sophomore Sana Zareen has been selected as a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders. The congress, which will be

held in June on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields.
Sana is in the MAHS science and health pathway, and has the career aspiration of being an anesthesiologist. She said she is incredibly grateful for this opportunity and thankful for science teacher Ms. Erin Washington, and courses at MAHS like accelerated biology. Sana also recently completed a six-month online writing in the sciences course through Stanford University, and credits MAHS English teacher Ms. Ashley Newcomb for helping her develop articulate writing skills.
Students are nominated by teachers, counselors, or principals to attend the congress and eligibility requirements include a minimum of 3.5 GPA, an ACT score of 22, or an SAT score of 1300. Sana said she is unaware of who nominated her to be a delegate.
Throughout the three-day event Sana and students from across the country will hear Nobel laureates and National Medal of Science recipients discuss leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what to expect in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.
Congratulations, Sana, on this incredible honor - you exemplify Raider excellence! We also recognize the work of teachers like Ms. Washington and Ms. Newcomb (pictured below) who are preparing and inspiring students for greatness!
