President
ALEJANDRO BENITEZ
Helloooo! My name is Alejandro and I am the current IMED president, I've been in IMED since my freshman year so you could say I know a bit about the club and what it's all about. So if you got any questions don't be scared to reach out I'd be glad to meet you :) When I'm not crying about MCAT studying you can find me watching a show at home being a couch potato.
