This morning my campaign took a twist. I was a presenter for
Survivors Teaching Students, a program through the
Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. Survivors Teaching Students
® brings ovarian cancer survivors into health professionals’ classrooms to share their stories and key information about the disease. The program has grown to include 92 medical schools around the country as well as 45 nurse practitioner, nursing and physician assistant training programs and schools. Today I was at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and spoke to a class of 30 eager, third year medical students. It was incredibly rewarding and the possibilities excite me. Just think if we can put ovarian cancer on the radar of medical students, how early diagnosis' can be affected. It gives me goose bumps to think about it.
