NEW HAVEN David Bradley, a Freshman at NCOE High School of Norris City has been nominated to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C. on November 14, 15 and 16.
The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.
David was nominated by Dr. Connie Mariano, the Medical Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Illinois based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.
During the three-day Congress, David will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research;be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what is to expect in medical school;witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.
This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical scientists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially, said Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. Focused, bright and determined students like David Bradley are our future and he deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give him.
The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy plans to launch in 2014 and 2015 are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more.
The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C., the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.

Medical schools hoping to find doctors who'll practice in minority and underserved communities may want to start grooming students in community colleges, a new studyout of UCLA indicates.
The study says that minorities who attended community colleges before heading to medical school are more likely to commit to working for underserved populations, the study says. One description called the findings as, "... a rich source of physicians for poor communities."
The findings came from a 2012 Matriculating Student Questionnaire by the Association of American Medical Colleges. The researchers wanted to see which medical school applicants might be more readily swayed to practice in minority and underserved communities.
The study appears in the journal, Academic Medicine. It says: Of the 40,491 medical school applicants and 4,920 (28 percent) attended a community college either during high school, after high school, or following graduation from a four-year university in order take courses in preparation for medical school.
A higher proportion of minority med school applicants attended community colleges compared with whites:
Latinos were the largest group at 34 percent, (538 of 1,566).
African Americans, 28 percent (311 of 1,109).
Whites, 27 percent (2,715 of 9,905).
Asians, 27 percent (963 of 3,628).
Others, 30 percent (393 of 1,310).

SALISBURY, N.C. A Novant Health Inc. hospital in Salisbury will serve as a training facility for osteopathic medical students at Campbell University, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
Campbells partnership with Rowan Medical Center, announced last week, will include training in primary care, family medicine, general surgery, obstetrician/gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry and other services. The emphasis is meeting the needs of underserved communities.
The medical school launched its first class of 162 medical students in August 2013. The rotation program at Rowan is scheduled to begin in June with 22 third-year students. It is projected to expand to 44 third- and fourth-year students.
Rowan physicians participating in the program will become faculty of Campbells medical school.
This relationship will be beneficial for our medical center and community in a number of ways, from enhancing our ability to recruit future doctors to boosting the local economy, Dr. Dari Caldwell, president of Rowan Medical, said in a statement.
Mike Horn, a consultant speaking for Novant, said Campbell approached Novant and Rowan to gauge their interest in accepting its medical students. The university is committed to placing its students in a rural hospital.
Horn said Dr. John Kauffman, dean of the medical school, and its board chose to establish relationships with community hospitals for its students rather than take on the expense of creating and maintaining the states fifth academic medical center.
Campbell University is proud to partner with Rowan to train the next generation of primary care and general specialists for North Carolina, Kauffman said in a statement.
The Rowan hospital already has a pharmacist training agreement with Campbell, along with Forsyth and Kernersville medical centers.
Campbell said one of its missions is addressing the increasing shortage of physicians in rural communities.

LAS VEGAS-- UNLV announced that it is moving forward with its plans for a new medical school. University regents, which are UNLV's governing board, just approved the $27 million budget for the new facility.
"The medical school is a vehicle to bring a higher quality of life to all Nevadans and I think it's an economic driver for the entire state, Dan Klaich, Chancellor of Nevada System of Higher Education said.
Regents haven't determined a location just yet, but they said the schools first class will start in just a few years-- 2017. Educators hope by building a new UNLV med school, it will help address the serious doctor shortage throughout the valley.
We'll be recruiting faculty and that's probably the first thing that's going to help increase the number of specialists. We'll need about a 120 faculty in the next two years, Barbara Atkinson, Planning Dean of UNLV School of Medicine said.
While it's difficult to get an appointment with a general practitioner, Atkinson said it's equally hard to get an appointment with a specialist. This issue has left thousands of valley patients having to seek medical care out of state.
Atkinson said the medical school will draw in several dozen specialists who can help patients alongside their teaching responsibilities.
"We're hoping that they'll set up practices and they'll be seeing patients immediately, she said.
UNLV President Don Snyder said the new medical school will partner with University Medical Center (UMC) and Veterans Affairs to continue new doctors' training after graduation.
It will help us keep doctors here and we need that, Don Snyder, UNLV President said.

Letter from the President
Liberty University is the largest private, nonprofit university in the nation, the largest university in Virginia, and the largest Christian university in the world. Liberty was founded in 1971 by my father, the late Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., with a vision to Train Champions for Christ as a world class university. An accredited institution, Liberty now offers more than 450 unique programs of study. Libertys more than 7,000-acre campus boasts millions of square feet of technologically advanced academic, residential, and recreational space, the vast majority of which was constructed in the last 15 years. Liberty hosts some of the worlds best-known speakers from all walks of life every semester, and our vibrant spiritual life programs are based on a solid doctrinal statement that truly sets us apart from other schools. Our code of conduct teaches discipline and promotes a lifestyle of Biblical morality, but is well-balanced to allow students the freedom to enjoy their college experience. While academics and faith are our top priorities, Liberty also fields 20 NCAA Division I athletic teams, 32 club sport teams, and provides a host of student activities, intramural sports, and recreational opportunities. Everything we do is designed to develop Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge and skills essential to impact tomorrows world.
- President Jerry Falwell
Liberty University is a Christian academic community in the tradition of evangelical institutions of higher education. As such, Liberty continues the philosophy of education which first gave rise to the university, and which is summarized in the following propositions.
God, the infinite source of all things, has shown us truth through scripture, nature, history, and above all, in Christ.
Persons are spiritual, rational, moral, social, and physical, created in the image of God. They are, therefore, able to know and to value themselves and other persons, the universe, and God.
Education as the process of teaching and learning, involves the whole person, by developing the knowledge, values, and skills which enable each individual to change freely. Thus it occurs most effectively when both instructor and student are properly related to God and each other through Christ.
Maintaining the vision of the founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Liberty University develops Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills essential to impact the world.
Through its residential and online programs, services, facilities, and collaborations, the University educates men and women who will make important contributions to their workplaces and communities, follow their chosen vocations as callings to glorify God, and fulfill the Great Commission.

Two burglary suspects impersonated Liberty County deputies in an early Sunday home invasion where officials had previously searched for drugs.
Shortly after 4:30 a.m., Arthur and Elizabeth Harrison of Ames, a small town 30 miles northeast of Houston, called the Liberty County Sheriffs Office, demanding to know why their home had been raided by officers.
As no law enforcement agencies reported any similar activity in the county that morning and the description of events did not match police procedure, investigators concluded it had been a robbery, not a raid.
The Harrisons told Sgt. Joel Davila that they had been preparing for work when two men kicked open their front door.
The men wore black clothes with badge shoulder patches and black masks as well as police-type belts, boots and gloves. They carried handguns as they repeatedly shouted, Liberty County Sheriffs Department! Get on the floor! and demanded to know the location of their money.
After being told, the men left carrying a suitcase filled with about $6,000, a shotgun and a .22-caliber revolver.
Investigators said the men put pillow cases on the Harrisons' heads, but did not restrain them, and they had strained to look through the fabric for any identifying clues, to no avail. They were uncertain if the patches on the mens arms were the same as those on the shoulders of investigators.
The Harrisons told investigators they had so much cash in their home because they were gamblers.
Davila said the Harrisons' home had been the target of an Aug. 21 drug raid by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Daisetta Police Department and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. No further information about that raid or the home invasion was available.
The Sheriffs Office requests anyone with information about the incident to call investigators at (936) 336-4500.

LIBERTY, Miss. (AP) - Among the many side effects of World War II was shutting down high school football programs as boys left to join the military, some even lying about their age to get in.
When the war ended in 1946, football rebounded with a vengeance - especially at Liberty High School.
Those were some of the best days of my life, said Charles T. Dixon, 83, of Liberty. I really wouldnt take nothing for it - not just because I played football but from all that I learned.
In 1946 the school didnt have much to work with. The football field - located at the present site of the old Kellwood Building on Main Street - was low and boggy, sometimes mucky with overflow from the schools large septic tank.
The school hired Coach Harold Dickerson to resurrect the program, and one of the first orders of business was building up the field.
Wed bring shovels with us from home, Dixon said.
Dump trucks would haul dirt to the site, and boys would do much of the work with shovels.
I remember when that old field was just a field, and they graded that off and it became a football field, and that was when the boys came back from service, said the Rev. Ernest Whittington, 83, of Liberty.
There were no age restrictions, and Whittington said boys even in their 20s who had suspended their schooling returned from the war to play ball.
There were some real powerhouses, said Whittington, whose small size landed him the job of manager. Coach Dickerson asked me to be the water boy. Of course, they gave me the title of manager.

Kevin Morgans will be arunning back for Liberty after playing the offensive line last season.William Montgomery/Times Herald-Record
By WILLIAM MONTGOMERY
Published: 4:00 PM - 08/30/14 Last updated: 12:39 AM - 08/31/14
LIBERTY Aside from the occasional fumble recovery, tipped pass or interception, linemen rarely get to touch the football or taste the glory that comes with being the one to run the ball into the end zone.
Kevin Morgans is going to find out, firsthand, what the fuss is all about. Morgans, a 5-foot-10, 195-pound junior three-year varsity player at Liberty, is returning to his natural position at running back.
As a freshman, Morgans was called up to the varsity team when Liberty needed some help on the offensive and defensive lines. By the end of the 2012 season, Morgans was a two-way starter.
Last season, Morgans started both ways, playing offensive tackle and middle linebacker. With the backfield looking thin and Liberty gaining some younger reinforcements on the line, Morgans is making a rare transition from tackle to running back.
It was kind of evident that it was going to happen eventually but this year it just panned out, Morgans said.
Morgans played running back through his youth career, up until the varsity team needed him to play a different position. A wrestler in the winter months - he was the Section 9 Division II champion at 182 pounds as a sophomore - Morgans has the athleticism and the aggressiveness, as well as the experience, to make the switch.
He has the tools to play running back, said Liberty head coach John Wilhelm. He is actually quite fast. He's a wrestler, so he's pretty cut up. He doesn't have a lot of extra weight. He dropped some weight from wrestling. He's a strong athletic kid. When he was younger we put him on the line because he was an aggressive kid. We were looking for someone who was going to be aggressive, so that's why we put him there. Morgans led Liberty with 112 tackles in 2013. He also got a taste of the backfield, gaining 119 yards on 23 rushing attempts as a sophomore.

The New York Times Magazine recentlywondered at lengthif the long-prophecied Libertarian Moment had finally arrived. Why, just look at the prevailing attitudes in America: openness to same-sex marriage and liberalization of drug laws, aversion to long-term overseas military deployments (wars), and um Obama is unpopular so people hate government regulation now, maybe? Sure. Well, no. As we wrote, libertarianism as a package is going to be a hard sell to the public as long as it dismisses concerns over economic insecurity and insists upon dismantling the regulatory state and large social insurance programs. But hey, its great that libertarians and liberals have common ground on and are making headway in social and criminal justice policy.
Who would be the foot soldiers in this Libertarian Moment thats not really arriving? The usual, well-funded thinkers that have given the movement a disproportionately large voice within debates in Washington, D.C., for decades Reason magazine, the Cato Institute along with a few MTV VJs from the 90s. Also: Rand Paul! Rand Paul is the son of a libertarian and is sort of a libertarian himself and is going to be the next president, after all. And then America will finally be the sexy free-market rock n roll paradise of libertarians imagination. There is a plan, folks.
But any political movement is going to need more than just a few magazines and think tanks and a scion whose political future depends on the extent to which hes willing to water down his libertarianism. Meaning: Libertarianism needs a lot more libertarians. If libertarianism is going to be the wave of the future, a significant portion of the American populace should a) know what libertarianism is and then b) subscribe to it.
Right now that portion is 11 percent not nothing, but also 11 percent. Thats the figure according to Pew of Americans who both say they are libertarian and know the definition of the term.
Youd expect, then, that those who know what libertarianism is and call themselves libertarians would be broadly in favor of the whole ideological package: social liberalism, for lack of a better term, anti-police state, anti-interventionist, and hella anti-economic regulation and so forth small government, all around.
Thats not necessarily the case among those 11 percent, Pew finds. The 11 percent are, indeed, more likely than the public overall to say government aid to the poor does more harm than good by making people too dependent on government assistance, and somewhat more likely than the public overall to say government regulation of business does more harm than good.Theyre also more likely than the public overall to support legalizing marijuana.
But on cops and foreign policy? Self-identified libertarians-who-generally-know-what-libertarianism-is are a little more supportive than the public overall of letting police do whatever the hell they want and bombing everyone all the time (although the foreign policy question is spectacularly vague):
And they are about as likely as others to favor allowing the police to stop and search anyone who fits the general description of a crime suspect (42% of libertarians, 41% of the public).
Similarly, self-described libertarians do not differ a great deal from the public in opinions about foreign policy. Libertarianism is generally associated with a less activist foreign policy, yet a greater share of self-described libertarians (43%) than the public (35%) think it is best for the future of our country to be active in world affairs.
Pew ran another math-y thing to figure out which cluster, or political type, these self-identified libertarians are most closely aligned with. Youll never guess which cluster came out on top! It rhymes with Schmusiness Schmonservatives.
