Expression in Medicine Scholarship
Free expression allows healthcare professionals to share research findings, clinical experiences, and new ideas with their peers and their patients.
This exchange of information is essential for scientific progress, innovation, and improving patient care. Physicians and other healthcare professionals need the freedom to discuss ethical concerns, question established practices, and advocate for patient rights in order to provide the best care possible. This openness ensures that medical practice remains patient-centered and ethically sound.
This scholarship seeks to ensure that the next generation of healthcare providers are stalwart guardians of the principles of free expression.
Any undergraduate student pursuing the healthcare field may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re committed to defending free expression.
To apply, write a short essay in response to the prompt below.
Why is free expression an important ideal in medicine? How can individuals within the medical field help protect and bolster it? Because AI writing models may be effective tools for expression, their use is permitted. However, recipients will be selected for the quality and originality of their ideas, not strength of prose. Submissions should be no more than 500 words.
“It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche.
