Jannelle Bannor’s desire to become a physician developed when she was a teenager and observed the compassionate care administered to her older sister, who is a cancer survivor. She chose chemistry as her major at �ǿմ�ý and took advantage of the college’s Health Professions Advising Office. Now the senior from Chattanooga, TN, has been accepted to 16 medical schools.

The Greater Memphis area is home to hospitals and medical research and teaching facilities that are ranked among the best in the nation. In the fall, senior chemistry major Parth Patel will be attending one of those institutions—the University of Tennessee Health Science Center—thanks to learning opportunities at area hospitals and �ǿմ�ý’ Health Professions Advising Office. Also recently, he received the 2024 Chemistry Research Senior Award for work done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
