Rayan Virani: PresidentHey everybody! My name is Rayan Virani, and I am this year's Medical Chapter Club's President. This will be my fourth year in Med Club and my third year on the Board. In school, I am involved in the Marching Band, and I play in the Pit. I am a TLC tutor as well. Outside of school, I am in Boy Scouts and recently finished my Eagle Project too. This past summer, I also travelled to Kenya for a mission trip and to obviously see some rhinos. In order to pursue as a Neurosurgeon, I completed a research project on Diabetes patients a year ago with St. Mary's Hospital in the West Side of Chicago. I also completed an art therapy internship with Alzheimer's patients in the last few months. I hope to have a fantastic year with you all!

I am so excited for another great year at Medical Chapter!

Emma Langas: Activities DirectorHello, and this is my second year in Medical Chapter. I am a junior, and besides Medical Chapter, I am in Model UN, go on air on WGBK, and am in a band where I play guitar and backup vocals. During the summer, I took a course exploring different careers in healthcare, and was very interested in the variety of pathways to take besides a doctor or nurse. I hope one day to be involved in healthcare in some way, whether this is in the hospital, or out. Careers I am interested in are an anesthesiologist or a medicinal malpractice lawyer.

Philip Tajanko: Outreach DirectorMy name is Philip Tajanko, I’m a senior, this is my second year on board while being my four in Medical Chapter. Besides this, I’m also involved with the GBS Fencing team and the engineeing department here at GBS. Outside of school, I volunteer at Glenbrook Hospital and I am currently applying to jobs.
