Biography
Lor-en Boh-jar-skee, She became very active in the neurology community early on in her training, attending the Annual AAN conferences during which she gave an educational talk about logistics and implementation of inter-regional events for medical schools worldwide. She has received recognition for her work to progress awareness of neurology as a specialty both in her school and community in the form of multiple scholarships, as well as a spot on an AAN Pipeline Subcommittee for dispelling neurophobia among students of all ages across the country. Although Dr. Bojarski's research interests are in Alzheimer's, she believes she will pursue private practice after residency; however hasn't completely excluded a fellowship in stroke, neuro-oncology, and geriatric neurology.
