MedTrack was honored for Innovations in Catholic Education – one of only 12 schools nationwide.
The summer Externship is one of the best parts of the MedTrack program. For example, graduate Jacob Grimmer '15 scrubbed into Vascular Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic.
Graduate Chad Jaenke '16 is one of many students who tackle research in college using the solid foundation received in the Honors Advanced Science Seminar class.
Graduate Steven Sivik '15 at his "White Coat Ceremony" upon entering the Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry.
Graduate Katie Brown '16 was so inspired by her MedTrack Junior Retreat at MedWish that she interned there in 2018 to further the organization's mission of providing medical supplies and equipment to all.
