Dr. Laura Congelio, as the president of the Class of 2020, presented awards to a number of her fellow classmates during the ceremony. She also was the recipient of two awards: Service to Class Award – Clinical Years and Service to Community Award – Clinical Years.
Laura is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis where she earned a B.A. in anthropology with a concentration in global health.
She will begin an emergency medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center on June 15.
