Carroll Medical Academy President Elian Alkhoury (12) and Vice President Kylie Connor (12) review the hospital map. On Saturday, Mar. 28, CMA held its annual Career Day at the Grapevine Baylor Scott & White Medical Center. Throughout the day, students were introduced to various medical careers through panels, presentations and hands-on experiences.
“It’s nice spending time with my classmates, and it’s really fun having a built-in connection with them,” Nikola Draganic (10) said. “I’m going to focus on studying medicine in college and go to a med school thereafter.”
By observing and participating in activities related to each specialty, CMA students experienced aspects of the daily responsibilities carried out by BSW staff. The event also marked a milestone, reflecting CMA’s continued growth since 2019 in expanding opportunities for student involvement and real-world exposure.
“Throughout high school, I feel like the Carroll Medical Academy has given me a purpose to help the community,” Elian Alkhoury (12) said. “This year, I promised to make sure we improved in member involvement, and I stayed dedicated to making that happen through my leadership.”
