You can make a difference with your degree by applying for the Scholars for a Health Oregon, DO (SHODO) scholarship. Designed with both the student and Oregon workforce in mind, SHODO provides WesternU COMP-Northwest students with a unique opportunity to help address healthcare disparity in the state.

You are not required to do a primary care residency. However, specialized opportunities will be limited in underserved and rural communities. Practice obligation begins within 90 days following residency completion. Scholars will be able to apply to a variety of underserved sites in both rural and urban settings. Recipients will need to contact the Oregon Office of Rural Health for assistance finding placements.

You may apply to the National Health Service Corp, PCLF, or other obligated scholarships in addition to applying for the Scholars for a Healthy Oregon, DO. However, you may not accept more than one scholarship with a service obligation. If accepted to multiple programs, you will need to decline all others in order to participate in SHODO.

Two or 3 $ 1,000 grants may be available to PA students in good standing.  Scholarship awards are to be decided by mid May, 2017. Two $ 2,500 grants for California students, one male, one female.

Requirements:  Write a paragraph or two identifying yourself as a 1^st or 2^nd year PA student in good standing.  Include your name, your mailing address, email, and cell phone number and the program’s name, address, and telephone with the guidance counselor’s  or director’s name and an interim grade report.  The program contact should be aware of the program’s clinics and your interest focused on Latino care.  Two letters of recommendation from professors or clinical supervisors are also needed.

In your letter, please describe one or two problems you have seen with Latino patients in the clinic.  An example of this is: if patients are not aware of care opportunities or available treatment options for clinical diagnoses such as hypertension, diabetes, or obesity that needed treatment.  These problems may have been diagnosed, but the patients could not gain access to medications, counseling, or follow up until you linked them to the services. 

A suggestion for linking the child to obesity counselling might be to contact the school nurse or community health care division to ascertain the counselling available in form of diet changes for the Latino population with the help of a nutritionist, who might suggest substitutes for the patients’ diets, who might partner with the child or his parent, and to get a school or community exercise program coordinator in touch with the family. 

A follow up discussion on the path taken by the Latino family and/or the contact people in the community that assisted the family with the problems identified would be highly regarded.  [One PA student scholarship may be given for care to Puerto Rican patients if such an applicant is identified; another is slated specifically for two California residents.]

Applications may be emailed or sent to the email address below.

The Morgagni Medical Society was founded in 1890 as an organization to foster the professional, intellectual and economic development of Italo-American physicians who were struggling to establish themselves in a less than congenial and welcoming environment for descendants of new immigrants to this country at the turn of the twentieth century. Today this tradition has evolved into a society of professional and cultural enrichment through social interaction amongst physicians, PhD's, dentists, chiropractors and podiatrists of Italian descent as well as Italophiles, with four dinner meetings and informative lectures at well-known New York City restaurants and social clubs throughout the year. 

Eligibility: The Morgagni Medical Scholarship is only for incoming first year medical students starting in the fall of 2017. Students need to have an overall college GPA of at least 3.7, and be of Italian descent (at least 50% Italian).
 

Process: Students interested in receiving the Morgagni Medical Scholarship must submit an application online and the required supporting documents to the Columbus Citizens Foundation. A committee reviews and evaluates the applications and asks selected applicants to visit the Columbus Citizens Foundation for a mandatory interview.

Approximately one month after interviews, the committee decides which applicant will be awarded the scholarship. Applicants are notified by email of the committee’s decision.

The American Academy of Optometry Foundation (AAOF) is pleased to announce a new initiative designed to encourage clinicians to pursue graduate training in vision or related biomedical research.

This initiative leverages the success of the previous Jill and George Mertz Fellowship program to better accomplish this critical need.

This is an award open to optometry students, optometry residents, faculty or practicing clinicians. It is also open to those who are planning to begin graduate school and not those already enrolled in graduate school.

The Jill and George Mertz Fellowship is designed to help transition the best and brightest clinician-optometrists with exceptional potential into a career which includes research and academic optometry.  This up-to 2-year fellowship will be awarded congruent with enrollment into a vision or related biomedical science PhD program. High achieving 4th year OD students as well as applicants who are currently in/have completed a residency or currently employed as a clinician-optometrist are highly encouraged to apply. Must be completing or have completed clinical training leading to an optometry degree.  Although not required, some priority may be given to those with optometry training at a North American school/college of optometry. Individuals who have already completed some of a PhD program are not eligible. 

Awardees will receive $15,000 (US dollars) upon beginning their first year of training, and if they demonstrate sufficient success (as described within their progress report, see below) during this initial year, they will receive an additional $15,000 (US dollars) upon beginning their second year of training.

Applications and supporting materials should be emailed to AAOAwards@aaoptom.org and include the words Mertz and the last name of applicant in the subject line of the email.

“Excess of everything is bad” is a common phrase in the world today. Well, of a truth, too much of anything can be bad for you, but that’s not the real issue to deal with when we talk of technology and its impact on children.

The world has gone digital and technology has come to stay. It has become an integral part of our lives. In fact, the hours of interactions we have with technology is determined by the intensity of our desire to stay connected.

Safe to say that it’s almost impossible to keep the children and young ones from wanting to experience such interaction. That leaves the parent with the sole responsibility of regulating the use of technology by their children.

That includes streamlining their interaction with technology to things that spur positive developments and behaviors.

We are offering a $500 scholarship to a student who can submit an original essay on “Technology and its impact on today’s children. Steps to curb the exposure.”.

• The scholarship is open for all students enrolled at universities in USA
• College students who maintain a GPA of 2.5 or more are eligible.
• The document needs to be written in a word Doc and contain all necessary personal information (Name, Age, University, City, Email)
• The essay should be a minimum of 1500 words
• Complete our Google application form here.
• Submission deadline for the essay is December 31st, 2021
