"I went to the Health Professions Fair and really enjoyed the panel di scussion on addictive behaviors! It was very insightful to hear the opinion s from my peers and interesting facts from doctors on a topic that many you ng adults have questions about. I believe that this was a very successful f air and resulted in making my interest in patient-doctor relationships grow . I'm so grateful that I got the opportunity to attend. "
