Another future physician in our Pack, and we are thrilled about Andrew Delloro’s acceptance with the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine - Georgia campus who will be starting his program next week.

We are so proud of Owen Hallett for his acceptance into Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine in Utah! A former student leader who was instrumental in the groundbreaking movements that lead towards the establishment of the Pre-Health Advisory Council, Owen was a great mentor and collaborator who espoused the values of teamwork, dedication and persistence.

Here in his own words are his personal words of encouragement:

Hi Everyone,
I am originally from Henderson, Nevada, and graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2022 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. In the years following graduation, I focused on strengthening both my clinical experience and my commitment to pursuing a career in medicine. During this time, I had the opportunity to shadow physicians, work as a medical assistant, and contribute to multiple research projects. I also got married, and through these personal and professional experiences, I further solidified my passion and purpose for becoming a physician.

I now live in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I am excited to begin my medical education at Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine in Provo, Utah this July!

Congratulations, Owen! We are

We are so proud of your accomplishments as a former athlete, student leader of the UNR Hawaii Club serving as its Vice President while holding an exceptional grade point average earning you cm laude honors when you graduated as a Public Health major in spring 2024.

You excluded outstanding competencies in teamwork, problem solving and respect for others such as your volunteering work with the Student Outreach Center and the Down syndrome network for Northern Nevada while helping elementary age kids to grow their love for reading and literature.
