1st Med Student

The first deaf student in West Virginia's medical school wears a cochlear implant. 24-year-old Mark Leekoff was born with a profound hearing loss, but became one of the first to undergo through implant surgery at the age of three. Leekoff eventually earned a biology degree in college and now the northern Virginia native is in his second year of medical school. Here's a student video about Leekoff.
