MAHS rising junior Sana Zareen spent part of her summer in Boston serving as a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders. The 2025 Congress was held on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and 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 aspires to be an anesthesiologist.
Throughout the three-day event, Sana and students from across the country had the opportunity to meet and hear from Nobel laureates and National Medal of Science recipients, including Dr. Mario Capecchi, co-awardee of the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and science director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. Dr. Capecchi is also a biophysicist and distinguished Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Utah School of Medicine and spoke to delegates about medicine, research, and leadership.
Sana also took time to adventure through history and visit the Boston Tea Party Museum.
To participate in the Congress, students must be nominated and have a minimum of a 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.
Congratulations, Sana, on this incredible honor - you exemplify Raider excellence!
