A Sultana High School student was selected as a delegate to the attend the National Congress of Future Physicians this summer on the University of Massachusetts’ Lowell Campus.

Kloie Mallett will enter the 11th grade at Sultana High in the fall, and said she is working toward becoming a therapist.

The congress is an honors-only program for high school students striving to become physicians or go into the medical research field. Mallet closed out her sophomore year as an honor student with a 3.92 GPA, according to school officials.

The event is designed to motivate and direct the top students in the U.S., interested in medical careers. It also helps students with strategies and resources to help them achieve their goals.

“My expectations for this experience at the Congress of Future Medical Leaders is to seek advice from many medical professionals about my goal to become a mental health therapist,” Mallett said. “I am excited that I have the privilege and opportunity to gain knowledge from doctors in the mental health field and I feel honored to have been invited to attend this event in Boston.”

Kloie’s nomination was signed by Dr. Mario Capeecchi, a winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine and the science director of the Nation Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. She was nominated based on her academic achievements, leadership, potential, and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine, the national congress said.

During the three-day event, Mallett will join students and hear Nobel laureates and National Medal of Science recipients discuss leading medical research. Attendees will also be advised by Ivy League and top medical school deans on what to expect in medical school and hear stories told by patients who are “living medical miracles,” the congress stated.

The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists believe it is crucial to identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help those students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of these vital careers, according to the organization.

The Congress of Future Medical Leaders and the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists are owned by Bottega University of Salt Lake City, Utah.
