The 2015 Follies, an annual event of song, dance, and parody by first-, second-, third-, and fourth-year medical students, as well as physical therapy (PT) and physician assistant (PA) students, was a smash on March 27 with hit skits like “The Rosswives of George Washington” and “Tell Us How You Really Feel.”
