Future Medical Professionals Attend Trip to Rutgers Medical Lab
On January 24, the Future Medical Professionals Club received a hands-on experience with cadavers and were instructed by first- and second-year medical students at the Rutgers Medical School Cadaver Lab. The trip, led by Dr. Michael Bernard (science teacher and club advisor) was especially impactful for Julia Kot '26 and Liliana Gallagher '28, who shared their insights.
"I am grateful to have experienced such a program," said Julia. "Being exposed to the cadavers has helped me realize, along with certain classes at the Mount, that I truly want to go into the medical field. Being able to say that is such an important step in the process. The medical students that we spoke with were open to questions about every aspect of their medical school experience, along with the steps they took to get there. I will not forget this trip!"
Liliana added, "It was a fantastic way to learn more about the human body in a very direct way. I got to explore many parts of the cadavers and was educated by the intelligent medical students."
