Anna Bock

Graduate Fellowship Recipient, 2025

Anna Bock is pursuing a Physician Assistant degree from Feinberg School of Medicine. She graduated from Medill School of Journalism, Media, and Marketing Communications with a BS in Journalism while also following a pre-med track. She has worked as an EMT provider while writing the stories behind the work of her EMT colleagues. Additionally, Anna has completed a full-time journalism internship with JAMA and has contributed 24 articles to date. She has excelled in both journalism and pre-med, appearing on Dean’s List in her last seven quarters. One of her recommenders states, “Mixing writing labs, daytime reporting requirements and the intensity of the hands-on demand of journalism classes with the equally time-intensive demands of pre-med classes, labs, and sequences is a rare achievement. Anna is one of the few who succeeded in that effort.” Anna says that combining both as of study intersects with her interest in telling human stories as well as being a part of the stories through her medical training. Professor Patti Wolter of Medill wrote that Anna is “committed, incredibly intelligent” and “a student who excels in two very different, important fields.”
