An essay by Yaowaree Leavell (Class of 2015) is spotlighting the College of Medicine’s student-centered faculty. The tribute to Suzanne Harrison, associate professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Rural Health, was a finalist in the American Medical Women’s Association contest on the topic of mentorship. The best essays, including Leavell’s, were printed in AMWA’s first Linda Brodsky Memorial Journal, named after a noted activist for fair treatment of women physicians.
Leavell is a student at the Fort Pierce Regional Campus. Both she and Harrison are involved in AMWA locally as well as nationally. Both are members of the association’s committee called Physicians Against the Trafficking of Humans (PATH).
