Dr. Yvette McLin, a psychiatrist specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry, and Mr. Brian Adams, Executive Director of the Scleroderma Foundation's Southern California Chapter joined HSA freshman on Tuesday, October 11th for the first session of our annual HSA Speaker Series.  

To find out more about the work that the panelists do, and their educational and career paths, students asked a range of questions and were treated to honest and engaging answers from the speakers.  Of the program, which was launched in 2009, one student shared, "The best part about the speaker series is that they tell you a lot of things from their job and you get to learn more about real professionals.  It helps you decide if you might want that career."

We are so grateful to Dr. McLin and Mr. Adams for sharing their time and enthusiasm for their work with our students, and we look forward to continuing to welcome a diverse range of medical and allied health professionals as the series continues.
