This past summer, Lila B (YPS ’28) interned at Memorial Sloane Kettering (MSK), shadowing professionals in the operating rooms, interventional radiology, clinics, and pediatric wings.
“My favorite part of my summer experience was definitely getting to watch many procedures in different areas of the hospital,” Lila, an aspiring pediatric oncologist said. “The staff were all so surprised I didn’t pass out when I was there.”
Lila noted that her York Prep biology class prepared her for what she learned on site. Her 10th grade chemistry teacher, Ms. Drake, gave her the tools to engage with the MSK professionals.
Lila’s main takeaway from the summer might not be what you would expect, but it is something we should all be reminded of: “The most valuable thing I learned was that honesty and empathy are the best values to have in medicine.”
Good luck to Lila this year, and we look forward to hearing what she has planned for next summer.
