          ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCE

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Rosalind Franklin 
University of Medicine and Science for 100 years of educating and 
training physicians and health care providers.
  Since they opened their doors in 1912, Rosalind Franklin has had a 
nondiscrimination policy in place and has embraced a diverse student 
body. These students have gone on to treat patients throughout the 
world and contribute to vital research.
  At Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, their focus 
is on interprofessional education, where students are encouraged to 
learn and share experiences with members of the health care team 
outside of their chosen profession. This provides a strong foundation 
for graduates of the program and enriches their clinical practice. The 
president, Dr. Michael Welch, has received numerous accolades for his 
leadership, including winning the 10th District Congressional 
Leadership Award for education this year.
  I want to congratulate Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and 
Science for an impressive 100 years of educating some of our best and 
brightest health care providers, and for giving back to the community 
and working to better the world around them.
