Dr. Lisa Hinton, Clayton County District Magnet Lead, provided the following feedback of the visit:

鈥淕ood morning Dr. Lockhart,

I just want to express my gratitude once again to you and your team for the school visit on Friday, October 27 with the medical students. Our students were so excited to see these students in their roles as medical students. Some of the verbal feedback I received included comments such as "they look like me", "they didn't talk over my head", "they were patient with me鈥�, and "they encouraged me". I think that our students left that session believing they can accomplish anything. I'd like our team to collaborate with you so that we can bring those students back sometime next semester, if possible.  Let me know your thoughts and availability and my team and I can work something out.鈥�

This is the type of feedback we love to hear and look forward to utilizing the partnership between HCOP Academy and the IPE Student Council to provide opportunities like these to other schools and students across the Atlanta area.
