Fourth year student Veronica Faller was recently awarded Scholar of the Year by the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) of New England.  She received a scholarship grant for her exceptional talent and academic accomplishments. “I have always found purpose in serving those with the greatest need,” Faller said.

As a newly revived organization that was originally founded in 1963, PMA New England recognized Faller for her compassion towards her patients and her Filipino heritage. She will start her residency training at MGH-McLean in July and plans to specialize in Child Psychiatry.
