HONORING REBECCA PRICHARD ON BEING ACCEPTED BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF 
FUTURE PHYSICIANS AND MEDICAL SCIENTISTS AS A DELEGATE TO THE CONGRESS 
                       OF FUTURE MEDICAL LEADERS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 19, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Branson High School 
student Rebecca Prichard on her being accepted as a delegate to the 
Congress of Future Medical Leaders by the National Academy of Future 
Physicians and Medical Scientists.
  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. Specifically, it's designed for students aspiring to become 
physicians or medical researchers, and provides a path and mentorship 
for students to accomplish their goals.
  To be considered for acceptance as a delegate, applicants are either 
recommended by a teacher or member of the Academy based on a proven 
track record of academic excellence. Delegates represent all 50 states 
plus Puerto Rico, and must have a minimum 3.5 GPA. Students like 
Prichard who qualify for this incredibly selective honor exemplify top-
tier diligence and academic talent.
  Mr. Speaker, Rebecca Prichard is not only an excellent student, but a 
well-rounded individual who is just as passionate about the medical 
field as she is about cheerleading. Rebecca will no doubt excel in her 
role as a delegate to this Congress and I urge my colleagues to join me 
in congratulating her for this achievement. On behalf of Missouri's 
Seventh Congressional District, I wish Rebecca the best of luck in all 
her future endeavors.
