New Physicians May Apply through December 1, 2017 to Earn $2,000 toward Medical School Debt
St, Louis, MO, October 4, 2017- The December deadline is rapidly approaching for the inaugural Empowered Physician Scholarship award from PracticeMatch, a leading national provider of healthcare recruitment resources to hospitals and health systems. However, there is still time for interested applicants to apply for the scholarship, which consists of a $2,000 award to be provided to the winner of an essay contest. The deadline for new and future physicians to apply is December 1, 2017, and the winner will be announced January 5, 2018. The judges will seek the essay that most eloquently conveys community involvement and dedication to caring to others, as well as the author's inspiration for entering the field of medicine and how they plan to positively impact the lives of others.
"We are very pleased and excited about the response and applications thus far, especially for the first year of the program," states Mike York, chief operations officer of PracticeMatch. "We look forward to awarding this money to a deserving recipient and helping a future physician achieve their goal of practicing medicine."
"The Empowered Physician Scholarship is a relatively simple way for a physician to earn some additional money towards his or her medical education," York adds. "A brief essay is all it takes to apply, and it may be worth $2,000. Additionally, there are no prerequisite financial need requirements, unlike many other scholarships and grants. We made the application process as easy as possible, so there is no reason not to give it a try, unless you have no medical school debt," he concludes.
