To become a practicing
physician and a scientist and to develop new and improved clinical
diagnostic tools so that doctors can diagnose and treat diseases
better. Close to 70 Dreamers are enrolled in medical schools around the
United States. Why is DACA important to him? Any student like him who
is in a medical school today and wants to go on to a residency has to
be able to work. Residents work long hours in hospitals while they are

legal authority to work in this country. No medical school will accept
him for a residency unless he has that DACA protection. Why in the world would we let this young man's vigorous pursuit of
education and brilliance be wasted? We need him.
