In a health crisis, past and current Penn Pre-Health Programs students pitch in

Cait Cavarocchi was in her second term of Penn’s Pre-Health Programs when the coronavirus outbreak was declared a pandemic. Like many students, Cait and her classmates completed the term online in accordance with the order to stay home and maintain social distance—but it was hard, knowing that members of her chosen profession were working on the front lines of the disease. “I decided to form the Coronavirus Committee because I couldn't sit in my apartment anymore, looking out my window and not doing anything,” Cait recalls.
