Two Ranney juniors graduated from Mini-Medical School at Jersey Shore University Medical Center this month after a six-week educational seminar series. Isabelle Heckler (Colts Neck) and Mollie Tobin (Wayside) participated in the unique medical education program, which is developed in partnership by Jersey Shore, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Neptune High School, the New Jersey Hospital Association and the Monmouth-Ocean Medical Society.
Isabelle and Mollie were two of the 133 high school students who graduated from the program after learning valuable information about medical careers through lectures and discussions with leading physicians and educators. Graduates of the program received a certificate, along with letters of congratulations from Steven G. Littleson, FACHE, president, Jersey Shore University Medical Center and Vicente Gracias, M.D., Dean of Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
“Every Wednesday, we met with other students from Ocean and Monmouth County at Jersey Shore University Medical Center or Neptune High School,” explained Mollie. “We met with surgeons and physicians of different specialties each week and learned so much about their day to day lives. This program not only enhanced my love for medicine, but also reinforced my desire to pursue a career in healthcare.”

This program not only enhanced my love for medicine, but also reinforced my desire to pursue a career in healthcare.”
Topics covered in the program included: The Science of Trauma Care; Sudden Cardiac Death; Mysteries & Magic of Pregnancy; Preventing & Treating Lung Cancer; Podiatry, Dentistry & Pharmacy; and Sports Medicine & Concussions.
“Numerous speakers praised the program and wished that it existed when they were young,” said Isabelle. “It was an amazing opportunity to foster our interest. Anyone with a slight interest in the medical field should participate in the program next year.”
Isabelle also explained that although the program won’t start again until next year, there are a few things that Ranney students can do in the meantime. “Mollie initiated ‘O.R. Explorers’ which allows students from Ranney to watch surgeries at Jersey Shore University Medical Center,” she said. “Meridian Health also has volunteer programs at all of its five hospitals in New Jersey. There are so many wonderful opportunities that students have available to them in order to further cultivate their interests.”
