                       OF FUTURE MEDICAL LEADERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sarah Conroy, of Ozark, 
Missouri, who has been accepted by the National Academy of Future 
Physicians and Medical Scientists as a delegate to the Congress of 
Future Medical Leaders.
  The Congress of Future Medical Leaders is an honors-only program that 
is designed to motivate and direct the top students in the United 
States. It is specifically for students who aspire to be physicians or 
enter into the field of medical research, and helps to provide a path 
and mentorship for students to accomplish those dreams. It takes place 
at the University of Massachusetts over 3 days, and helps to spark 
meaningful dialogues and exchanges of ideas between future leaders in 
the medical field.
  To be considered for acceptance as a delegate, applicants must be 
recommended by either a teacher or member of the Academy based on a 
proven track record of academic excellence. Students must have a 
minimum of a 3.5 GPA and represent all 50 states and Puerto Rico. It is 
an incredibly selective opportunity, and those students who qualify for 
selection have done so because of their hard work and diligence to 
their studies, not to mention their impressive intellect.
  Mr. Speaker, Sarah Conroy, who attends Ozark High School, has shown a 
true passion for anatomy, biology and health science. Moreover, Sarah 
has excelled in her academics and will no doubt make Missouri proud as 
one of our delegates. I would like to extend my personal 
congratulations for her achievement, and on behalf of the 7th District 
of Missouri, I would like to thank her for representing our district.

                          ____________________
