College of American Pathologists Recognizes Top
Chicago Science Students
Five High School Students Selected as "Path to a
Future in Medicine" Award Winners
Northfield, IL.—The College of
American Pathologists (CAP) announced today that five Chicago-area high
school students have been selected to receive the College's 2005 "Path
to a Future in Medicine" awards. These winning students will attend
the College's annual meeting CAP ’05 on Sunday, Sept. 11, to display
their projects. They will tour the CAP '05 meeting and discuss possible
careers in medicine and science, as well as general science issues, with
a select group of pathologists and pathology residents. They also have
been invited, with their parents, to attend the opening entertainment—a
performance by Neil Goldberg's Cirque, an entertainment event that blends
the European style of Cirque with performance artistry and broadway theatrics.
"We are extremely thrilled with the work of these students,"
said CAP president Mary E. Kass, MD, FCAP. "They are recognized for
being outstanding students with exceptional scientific promise. At our
annual meeting, these students will present their projects and discuss
opportunities in the fields of science and medicine with some of the most
highly recognized pathologists in the country and from other nations around
the globe."
The College congratulates these outstanding science students! The students
who competed were judged for excellence in five areas: creativeness, scientific
thought, thoroughness, skill, and creativity.
