Tarita CollinsSHADOW OF HER
FUTURE SELF

Robert E. Cook Honors College junior Tarita Collins spent each of eight weeks last summer with a different Philadelphia area medical specialist. She hopes to be a surgeon herself someday, and the Minority Externship Program, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline and the Medical Society of Eastern Pennsylvania gave her, she said, "a better idea of what I might want to do." The program is intensive: If an OB/GYN had to deliver babies all night, the student assigned to the physician would work all night as well. Collins is a biochemistry major from Roslyn.
