Illinois Pain & Spine - Excellence in Action Scholarship
DxTx Pain & Spine upholds four core pillars of practice: being ethical, hungry, humble, and smart. These values are not only central to DxTx operations but are also embraced by all DxTx affiliates, including Illinois Pain and Spine Institute.
Being ethical means ensuring that patients always come before profit, being fair to physicians and partners, and maintaining a culture that encourages proactive identification and resolution of any issues. Those who are hungry work hard and reward hard work. Being humble means treating everyone respectfully, seeking mutual understanding, then executing together, and "pulling, not pushing." Finally, being smart is to bring about new ideas and processes supported by questions, data, and experience.
This scholarship seeks to reward students who go above and beyond, both in and out of the classroom, by alleviating the financial burden of college, vocational, and other educational programs.
Any high school, undergraduate, or graduate student in Illinois who is pursuing a program specific to a position as a radiology technician, surgical technician, medical assistant, registered nurse, or licensed practical nurse may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us about a time when you demonstrated a core pillar, how you went above and beyond, and how your efforts made an impact.
Describe a situation in which you exemplified one of our core pillars—ethical, hungry, humble, or smart. Provide a specific example from your academic, clinical, or personal experience. How did you exceed expectations in that scenario? What steps did you take, and how did they embody this pillar? Furthermore, detail the impact your actions had on the patients, team, or organization involved.
