Cape Tech student Anthony Henrich
Cape May County Technical School student Anthony Henrich has been invited to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell in June 2026.
The nationally recognized honors program is sponsored by the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. It welcomes accomplished high school students who are interested in becoming a physician or doing scientific research in the medical field.
Henrich, a junior in Cape Tech’s Allied Medical program, wants to become an anesthesiologist. He was selected to attend the Congress based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity, according to a news release.
“I’m excited to attend and learn more about the medical field, especially about the advances in the future of medicine,” said Henrich, a resident of Ocean View in Upper Township. “Anesthesiology is so interesting, and I want to know more about how it works. I’m planning on doing research throughout college to learn more about reducing the side effects from long-term anesthetic use.”
At the three-day Congress, he will listen to inspirational speakers, including renowned doctors, medical leaders and Nobel laureates. He will also be mentored by experts in medicine and science, motivated to pursue his career goals and participate in networking opportunities.
Henrich said his classes in the Allied Medical program at Cape Tech have given him key medical information, hands-on learning experiences and encouragement to pursue his career passion.
His Cape Tech Allied Medical instructor, Rachel Wenker, is thrilled Henrich is receiving this opportunity.
“This nomination is a well-deserved recognition of his dedication, intelligence, and excellent work ethic,” Wenker said. “Tony started the Allied Medical program last year and has shown great leadership potential in class. He is very enthusiastic about medicine and is committed to helping other students in class and works well as part of a team. He has strong critical thinking skills and is always willing to take on a challenge.”
Cape Tech Superintendent Jamie Moscony said the school community is extremely proud of Henrich’s selection to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders.
“Having one of our students earn this recognition ties directly to our mission of preparing students for today’s employment market by teaching relevant skills and providing real-world experiences,” Moscony said.
