Kealakekua senior attends Congress of Future Medical Leaders

Andelen “Olelo” Losalio, a senior at Ke Kula o Ehunuikaimalino of Kealakekua, is a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Lowell, Massachusetts June 25-27.

The congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

Olelo was nominated by Robert Darling, the medical director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Ke Kula o Ehunuikaimalino based on her academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.
