Winterville teen attends Congress of Future Medical Leaders

Cody Nobles of Winterville, a junior at Arendell Parrott Academy, was a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders held in June on the University of Massachusetts Lowell Campus.

Hosted by the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists, the congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields.

Students are selected for the program based on academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve in the field of medicine.

Cody joined students from across the country who heard Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science recipients discuss leading medical research, received educational advice from medical school deans and learned about advances in medical technology.
