Students in Riverside Middle School's AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program recently learned about practicing medicine and law as careers following presentations by Dr. Steven LeGrow from Watertown Family Practice and Attorney Allen Larson from Bender, Larson, Chidley, Koppes, Hetfield & Associates.
Dr. LeGrow spoke with students about his journey to become a family medicine doctor, highlighting the education necessary to be successful in a medical profession. Atty. Larson discussed his professional background, as well as aspects of criminal justice and law with the students. The students asked many questions of both professionals to identify if one of those fields could be a future career pathway for them.
Thank you to Dr. LeGrow (pictured at top) and Atty. Larson (pictured at bottom) for sharing your expertise with our students.
