Quote:

 I gained insight into life as a patient while assisting the Child Life Department in promoting coping skills through this AYA Fellowship opportunity.  I also met wonderful people at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and enjoyed getting to know alums through the Yale Club of Dallas.  The program was truly memorable for so many reasons and the experience helped me reaffirm my commitment to medicine.
