Hi everyone! I wanted to drop a post introducing myself to the Boston network, and to see if anyone else is planning to attend the HCC Alumni Boston Mixer at IHI on October 28th (registration at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/boston-alumni-fall-networking-mixer-free-tickets-74319524699?utm-medium=discovery&utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&aff=escb&utm-source=cp&utm-term=listing).

My name is Leila (pronounced like ‘Lila’) and I’m an HCC 2017 alumni. I’m currently working as a program coordinator in the Center for Diversity & Inclusion at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. We work with Faculty, Trainees and Students who are underrepresented in medicine (URiM),and I specifically focus on managing residency recruitment and our two summer research programs for URiM students. I just moved to Coolidge Corner and love to explore the area for new restaurants, shows and events. I also really enjoy long distance running and hanging out with friends in the area. Anyone else currently working/studying in Longwood Medical Area?
