Fernando participated in sessions with physicians\/residents and physical therapy as Cacho considers a pathway into medical school after he graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy favorite aspect of the event is the ability to delve into the specific details within the healthcare industry, especially focusing on areas such as residency, and medical school. I appreciate how GLOW allows for a deep dive into the specific craft one wants to specialize in within this broad field,\u201d added Cacho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
