We were pleased to host our first invited speaker, Dr. Nicole Levin. Dr. Levin is PGY-3 Dermatology resident at Broward Health Medical Center, an exemplary NSU alumnus, and a Florida Atlantic University Medical School alumnus. We had over 70 students in attendance as Dr. Levin imparted knowledge from her own journey and spent most of her times answering the most pertinent questions about medical school acceptance, academic success, and self discovery. We are so grateful to Dr. Levin, and we hope to have her visit again soon.
