Skull and Bones and Alpha Epsilon Delta sponsored an event for pre-medical, pre-dental and pre-veterinarian students to hear first hand about the lives of three extremely accomplished doctors.
It is often the case that students find themselves working hard to attain a goal, without knowing what to expect after attaining it.
For those passionately pursuing careers in medicine and science, this event shed light on future some possibilities.
Dr. Victor Martinez, a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon who attended The University of Miami medical school, shared with students his life experiences in becoming not only an excellent physician but also a lawyer.
Dr. Marcelino Oliva Jr. shared his experiences on being a D.O. who has served as president for both the American Osteopathic Association and Florida Osteopathic Medical Association among many other superior accomplishments.
Dr. Eddie Garcia, a local veterinarian, shared with pre-vet students what to expect in vet school and also current news about new cancer treatments for animals and how nutrition is a very important factor for health and preventative medicine.
Students were inspired to hear the lives of these talented professionals, gaining insight and pertinent information on medical philosophies and the current capabilities of science.
Skull and Bones and AED hope to sponsor more events like this in the future to continue sharing valuable information with those seeking promising futures in medicine and health sciences.
