So thrilled to meet the future Dr Boreland in person! Got to meet here a bit on zoom at admissions time! Read more about her amazing journey!
As we open our doors this week, learners like Zaynashae Boreland show what the future of health care can look like. Her dream is to open a family practice clinic and to be the physician that young Black children and teens can see themselves in.
