Karen Herrera, a sophomore at Archbishop Ryan High School, attended the recent Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C.
The Congress is an honors program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields.

“Focused, bright and determined students like Karen Herrera are our future, and she deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give her, “said Richard Rossi, executive director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. ••
