Can you imagine how many more innovations in science and technology there would be if all youth had the opportunity to pursue their passions? This article shows the importance of apprenticeships and self-motivated learning for young people.Tony Hansberry II isn(tm)t waiting to finish medical school to contribute to improved medical care. He has already developed a stitching technique that can be used to reduce surgical complications, as well as the chance of error among less experienced surgeons.
• I(tm)ve always had a passion for medicine,• he said in a recent interview. “The project I did was, basically, the comparison of novel laparoscopic instruments in doing a hysterectomy repair.”
By the way, Hansberry is a 14-year-old high school freshman.
In April, the brilliant teen presented his findings at a medical conference at the University of Florida before an audience of doctors and board-certified surgeons.
Hansberry attends Darnell-Cookman, a special medical magnet school that allows him to take advanced classes in medicine. Students at the school master suturing in eighth grade.
