Gabrielle Penna '20 Receives Award of Excellence from the Congress of Future Medical Leaders
The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was chartered to help address the shortage of primary care doctors and specialists by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians. Archmere sophomore Gabrielle Penna was nominated to attend their yearly conference in Boston, Massachusetts as a representative of the state of Delaware in June.
