He continued his education at loyola university, the school of medicine. Allow me a few seconds to praise this wonderful school. He was one of dozens of Daca Recipients, which was the First Medical School to admit daca students. They do not receive any special treatment in the Selection Process and they are not eligible for a penny in federal financial assistance. Many of them borrowed money from the state of illinois to complete their medical education in the hopes that once they are licensed they can come back and practice in our state which they promise to do. Heres what manuel says about what daca means to him. And i quote. Daca has opened up many doors for me. It allows me to serve people through emergency medicine.
