WILMINGTON, MA — Liane M. McAuliffe, a former Wilmington High School graduate and resident of Wilmington, graduated Albany Medical College on May 26, 2016, having received a full scholarship from the United States Navy under the HPSP’s competitive scholarship program.
The graduation was held at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, New York, where Liane received not only her M.D. degree, but also her commission and promotion to Lieutenant in the United States Navy.
Dr. McAuliffe was the recipient of the Lamb Foundation prize, given to the medical student who most nearly approached the ideal in physician-patient relationships. She also received Recognition for Excellence during her senior rotation for having demonstrated dedication to teaching, outstanding clinical skills, insight into learning styles, and epitomizing professionalism in medicine.
Liane is the daughter of Jean and John Chang of Wilmington, and William P. McAuliffe of Naples, FL (formerly of Wilmington.) At her graduation, Liane’s stepfather, John, also a physician, placed the doctoral hood on Liane, signifying her success in completing her medical degree.
Following a brief visit here in her hometown of Wilmington, Dr. McAuliffe will begin residency training at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, California. Upon completion she will serve in support of our Armed Forces caring for soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, as well as their families and retirees around the world. Liane is looking forward to specializing in Emergency Medicine.
