In this episode of PAMED Talks, Julie Heaney speaks with Rose Wascher, first-year medical student at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University and 2026 Lycoming County Medical Society scholarship recipient. Rose shares the complexity of being a first generation medical student, the hidden support of financial assistance like scholarships, and how being a patient informed her path toward becoming a health care professional.
