How Geisel Scholarships Shape Medical Careers
When Joe Graterol, MD, MED ’15, received a scholarship to Geisel, it opened more than just the door to medical education. It empowered Graterol to practice medicine in a way that reflects his values—providing high-quality care to marginalized and underserved populations, and inspiring future generations of doctors from similar backgrounds as him to do the same.
