Salinas was nominated by Dr. Robert Darling, the medical director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. Salinas was nominated based on her academic record, her leadership potential and “determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine,” the press release indicated.
The honors-only program acts as a way to inspire and direct potential medical students of the future, organizers explained.
“Focused, bright, and determined students like Priscila Salinas are our future and she deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give her,” said Richard Rossi, the executive director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists.
