Doctors in the Boondocks Scholarship
Quality medical care saves lives and is crucial to the health and wellness of the world, yet many people don’t have adequate access to the care they need.
Many underserved communities don’t have enough hospitals, doctors, and other care providers to address the needs of their people, leading to long wait times, sparse appointment availability, and rushed care that can all contribute to missed diagnoses.
This scholarship seeks to support students who are committed to using their medical passions to improve access to healthcare in underserved communities.
Any low-income medical resident who is practicing in an underserved area may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us why you have decided to practice in your chosen area and how your community is medically underserved.
Describe your connection to the community you serve, and why you chose to practice in that underserved area. In what ways is the community medically underserved?
