Sonal Kumar of Plainsboro is enrolled in the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine (NYFL/MED) taking place in Philadephia from Sunday, July 3, to Tuesday, July 12. Kumar will join 350 other students from around the country who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership, and an interest in a career in medicine.
The 10-day forum introduces students to concepts in public health, medical ethics, research, and general practice, and includes site visits to medical facilities and clinics. Students engage in a simulation using problem-based learning, in which students are presented a fictional patient’s case history, and must diagnose and develop a treatment plan. For information visit www.nylf.org.
