Fleming to participate in leadership forum

Recently, Miss Amanda Fleming, of Pecos, was accepted to participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine (NYLF/MED), taking place in Houston, TX from July 23 to August 1. NYLF/MED is a career development program for high school students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential and an interest in medicine. Fleming will join approximately 350 other high school students from around the country.

Throughout the ten-day Forum, NYLF/MED will introduce Fleming to a variety of concepts in public health, medicine ethics, research and general practice, including site visits to medical facilities and clinics. Students will engage in a problem-based learning simulation, an educational method where they are presented with a fictional patient's case history and must diagnose and develop a treatment plan for the patient.

"The National Youth Leadership Forum offers an invaluable perspective for students who participate in the Forum on Medicine," said Donna Weldin, executive director of NYLF. "The relationships were forge with health care facilities and educational institutions throughout the country afford these young people with an eye-opening experience, introducing them to the broad spectrum of medical careers."

In addition to site visits to cutting-edge medical schools and clinical facilities, Fleming will hear from and have the opportunity to interact with leaders within he medical field. Students have up-close personal contact with physicians, surgeons, researchers, scientists and medical educators as they go behind the scenes to view these professionals at work.

NYLF is a nonprofit educational organization that brings various professions to life, empowering outstanding high school students with the confidence to make well-informed career choices. In addition to forums on medicine, NYLF offers programs for students interested in law or national security, celebrating its 10th Anniversary in 2002, NYLF offers programs for students interested in law or national security.
