12-Year-Old Starts Medical School In Chicago
Boy Wants To Find Cure For Cancer
CHICAGO -- Sho Yano heads to school with his lunch in a brown paper bag, like many other 12-year-olds across the country.
But Sho isn't in junior high. He's a first-year medical school student at the University of Chicago, where he's the youngest ever to attend one of the university's professional schools.
If he weren't also getting his PhD along with his medical degree, he'd be on course to become the youngest person to graduate from any medical school.
Sho graduated in three years from Chicago's Loyola University, summa cum laude. But for him, going to school is about learning as much as he can.
Sho says he chose medicine because he wants to help people. He says he'd like to find a treatment for cancer.
