Malvern sophomore Aaron Snyder was one of only seven students to win a full scholarship to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF) program on medicine this summer at Villanova University.

The NYLF introduces outstanding high school students to professionals from some of the nation’s top medical centers and faculty from renowned institutions of learning.

With close cooperation from many prestigious and technologically-advanced hospitals, research facilities and medical schools, the forum challenges students to learn about a broad range of topics, including educational requirements, career options, clinical practice and complex ethical and legal issues facing the medical profession today. Students discuss global epidemics, cures for life-threatening diseases, life as a resident, medical specialties and primary care with current physicians and patients.

The 10-day forum will take place July 20 - 29.
