Ever since she was a little girl, Vallejo teen Eptistam Lambo has wanted to be a doctor.

This summer, she got a little closer to her dream, plus she got to help conduct research which could lead to a cure to a debilitating disease.

Lambo is one of 14 Mare Island Technology Academy students participating in a special summer internship program at Touro University.
