Ellie's Medical Conference

My name is Ellie Klopfenstein, and I am a junior at North Kansas City High School. I have been selected to attend the National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC) on Medicine and Health Care. This prestigious program selects outstanding high school students from around the world to participate based on academic excellence, extracurricular involvement, and demonstrated leadership potential. It is an honor to be to attend the NSLC, and I am extremely excited about this opportunity. 

While at the NSLC, I have the opportunity to perform clinical rounds, learn medical examination and surgical techniques, observe surgical procedures, and participate in diagnosis and treatments. 

Since NSLC is a prestigious program, the cost to attend the conference in Seattle, Washington is around $3,500. This includes the program, room and board, course materials, program activities, and travel to the conference. Any and all contributions are truly appreciated and will make a big difference in helping me attend NSLC!
