| Mentoring/Networking Lunch with Feinberg Students and Fellow Alumni
Friday, April 28 | 12:00–1:30 p.m. | Enjoy a relaxed buffet lunch with our medical students and share your insights and hear others’ perspectives on the medical profession and career paths (those taken and those you are curious about) during this structured but informal session taking place during Alumni Weekend. Register here.
The Northwestern Network Mentorship Program cultivates meaningful professional relationships between alumni and current students. Alumni from all classes may participate as volunteer mentors and/or mentees.
Alumni Physicians of Feinberg unites our renowned alumni and faculty with medical students who want to learn about the daily lives of physicians. This program is especially valuable to students who are in the midst of choosing their specialty.
Dinners with a Doc are casual gatherings that provide alumni and students with opportunities to discuss careers in medicine and develop mentoring relationships. Students gain invaluable insight from alumni physicians, who, in turn, learn from the students about the current state of their medical alma mater.
For more information about these opportunities, please contact Dan Schwarzlose at 312-503-4519 or daniel.schwarzlose@northwestern.edu. | Ronney Abaza, '00 MD, was recently awarded the 2016 distinguished alumnus award from the University of Toledo College of Medicine where he completed his residency. Dr. Abaza is president of the Ohio Urological Association and will preside over their annual meeting in April. Congratulations, Dr. Abaza!
| | Neelofur Ahmad '86, '88 MD, joined the faculty of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center as an associate professor of Radiation Oncology last month. An HPME graduate, Dr. Ahmad will be practicing in MD Anderson's Bay Area Regional Care Center. She previously was in private practice in Houston for 18 years. Congratulations, Dr. Ahmad!
