Kenira Thompson, the president of Ponce Health Sciences University, recalls her first visit to the medical school at the age of 17. At the time, the institution was part of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico, and Thompson was an 11th-grade student participating in a summer internship.
As the president, Thompson is expected to outline her agenda for the Ponce Health Sciences University. The university is a significant institution in Puerto Rico, and Thompson’s leadership may impact the community and the island’s healthcare sector.
