Zarna Dahya
Dr. Pomidor |
Zarna Dahya’s application to the prestigious MSTAR
(Medical Student Training in Aging Research) has been
accepted! This program is administered by the American
Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) and the National
Institute on Aging (NIA). She will be doing the training at
the University of Michigan Medical school. I believe she is
the first FSUCOM student to receive this award.
Congratulations to Zarna for writing an excellent
application!
