Millen says that S.C.A.R.F. has been and always will be a lifelong commitment for her. To her, S.C.A.R.F. has cultivated a place for her leadership, a voice for her awareness, and a strong passion for medicine and giving back to others. The program has helped her achieve her goals throughout high school, undergrad, and grad school, and it has shaped the future physician she will become. She plans to give back to S.C.A.R.F. by continuing to help younger students in the program and by incorporating the three core values of critical thinking, higher education, and teamwork into her career.
