NEW LONDON, New Hampshire — Colby-Sawyer College student Brady Dion of Sabattus, a member of the Class of 2018, was selected to participate in the 2018 “Med Student for a Day” program sponsored by Dartmouth College’s Geisel School of Medicine held at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) on April 2. Dion is studying exercise science.

Students attended lectures led by medical school faculty, learn about New Hampshire health career opportunities, tour the facility with current medical students and meet with admissions staff.

With plans to apply to medical school in the coming year, Dion enjoyed meeting current students and getting a glimpse of their worlds.

“I learned what life as a medical student truly is like, and how to conduct myself once I become a medical student,” he said. “Additionally, (the program) gave me an opportunity to practice my networking skills — to step out of my comfort zone, ask questions and make new connections.”

While completing his medical school applications, Dion will work at Central Maine Medical Center as an exercise physiologist in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
