                   CONGRESS OF FUTURE MEDICAL LEADERS

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. KEN BUCK

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 23, 2018

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two high school 
students who were chosen by the National Academy of Future Physicians 
and Medical Scientists to represent the State of Colorado as Delegates 
at the Congress of Future Medical Leaders. These students are Shayla 
Cooper and Arianna Sanchez.
  The Congress is an honors-only program for top students in our 
country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists. These 
students are nominated by their teachers or the Academy based on their 
leadership ability, academic achievement, and dedication. This program 
is designed to inspire young people to go into medical research fields 
or be physicians, and provides a path, plan, and mentoring resources to 
help them reach their goal. During the Congress, the students will have 
the chance to learn from leaders in the medical field as well as 
government officials, top medical school deans, leaders from the 
private sector, and even Nobel laureates.
  These students' acceptance to this prestigious program is an 
incredible feat, and it is my honor to rise today and recognize the 
outstanding accomplishment of this future leader. Our nation greatly 
benefits from the achievements of physicians and medical scientists, 
and it is important that we continue to inspire younger generations to 
pursue careers in the medical field.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, 
I extend my congratulations to these students and wish them the best in 
their future endeavors.
