Spring 2018
\n<\/em>[lead]On December 11, UCF and the Make-A-Wish Foundation made an ailing teen\u2019s medical school dream a reality<\/a>. Hannah Culler, 18, has mast cell activation syndrome, a severe immune disorder that causes life-threatening allergic reactions. Culler has dreamed of attending the UCF College of Medicine<\/a> and becoming a doctor. During her visit, she helped deliver a baby from a robot simulator and diagnosed a computerized mannequin with congenital heart failure. She also participated in the college\u2019s White Coat Ceremony.[\/lead]<\/p>\n
