Noah Esposito, a 2023 graduate of Lincoln Jr/Sr High School is currently a first-year student at Bethany College in Lindsborg. Besides playing football for the Swedes, Noah is studying biology during his undergraduate years and plans to move into a medical profession in his postgraduation education.
Esposito received an invitation to attend, as well as a scholarship to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Lowell, MA.
The event is a three-day honors program for high-achieving high school students who aspire for a career as a physician (M.D.) or medical scientist (Ph.D.), including as a biologist, engineer, software or hardware technologist, or mathematician.
To be eligible to attend, students must have a 3.5 or higher GPA (either current or cumulative). Verification of the students’ GPA will be required Students who are accepted as a Delegate to the Congress will be mentored by the very greatest minds in medicine and view a complete surgery while asking the surgeon questions in real time. Following the end of the Congress, students will be presented with the Congress of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence, signed and certified by Dr. Mario Capecchi, Nobel Prize Winner and Science Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. As stated above, Noah received a scholarship, he is still responsible for his own transportation, hotel and food while there. He has estimated it would take just over $2,000 for him to attend the event. He is now searching for sponsors to help with his expenses. Esposito has multiple ideas for fundraising including providing intern hours for a medical professional in exchange for a contribution to his expenses.
“I am excited and looking forward to medical school and becoming a doctor but haven’t decided on what exact kind of doctor I want to be,” Esposito said. “I feel this conference will help me learn more about different medical fields, talk with doctors of various backgrounds and possibly help me make the hard decision so I can focus on taking the right classes in the future. I am hoping to find sponsors that would like to help me get to Boston, attend this event and be a part of this great opportunity!”
