!After COVID postponed her trip, Kelly Patterson traveled to the UK to complete her AAALAC Fellowship. Here is what she had to say about her trip.

“I would like to say no words can come close to expressing my sincere gratitude for being awarded this fellowship. One US fellow I spoke to shortly before leaving for my trip mentioned it was “life-changing.” I wholeheartedly agree. I would do it again if I could, but instead,

I am paying it forward and using my experience to engage colleagues and encourage them to apply for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I would also like to sincerely thank AAALAC

International, Datesand Group, MRC, NIH, and Priority One Services for sponsoring this amazing fellowship, all my new friends in the UK that served as a host and tour guides, and the selection committee and my nominating colleagues and friends for believing in me!”
