In April of 2011, then 9-year-old Julia Rosenthal set off to Miami’s Jackson South Community Hospital with her father, Dr. Mark Rosenthal, to participate in Take Your Child to Work Day.
Now, 14 years later, as a second year medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Julia is back at the same hospital beginning a clinical rotation in neurology.
With an innate sense of compassion, curiosity and ambition, Julia has aspired to become a doctor for as long as she can remember.
“From the time I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be a doctor,” she said. “I always loved math. I had amazing role models growing up — at home and at school — and I dreamed of one day being able to take care of my neighbors, teachers and friends.”
Born and raised in Miami, Julia is a 2020 graduate of Gulliver Preparatory School, where she was a National Merit Scholar, and a 2023 graduate of the University of Miami, where she majored in Economics, with minors in Biology and Chemistry. As part of the University of Miami’s Medical Scholars Program, Julia knew that the Miller School of Medicine was her one and only choice for medical school.
“I loved the idea of learning how to practice medicine right here in the community where I grew up,” she said.
National Take Your Child to Work Day is an annual event, celebrated across the United States on the fourth Thursday in April, and is intended to open young minds to career possibilities and see how jobs contribute to the world around them. It encourages children to learn about the professional world, explore career possibilities, and connect their education to future.
Years after attending Take Your Child To Work Day with her dad, Julia remains inspired to care for others, serve her community and follow in her father’s footsteps – while also blazing her own trail as a passionate and compassionate future physician.
Reflecting on his own 35-year career practicing medicine, Dr. Rosenthal is proud of the contributions he has made and the patients he has had the privilege to care for.
“Now, when I look at my daughter and the next generation of student doctors, I feel confident that the future of medicine is in good hands,” he said.
