Karl Kapahnke, a medical student from Germany, joined us as an observer in the spring and said the experience has been one of the most formative of his career so far.

"It's a pleasure and an honor to be part of this vibrant environment, where the boundaries between untreatable and treatable are pushed every day for the benefit of patients."

Karl described Barrow as "hub for curious and passionate minds," where every conversation left him with valuable perspectives to take home.
