Scholarship

As a joint venture between the Division of Multicultural Affairs Committee and The Division of Social Emergency Medicine, we are pleased to offer this scholarship to fourth year medical students who embody the values of caring for those in underserved communities. As a level 1 Trauma center we care for all patients regardless of their insurance or ability to pay in New Orleans, LA. We understand that in order to provide the highest level of care for our patients our physicians must represent and embody our patient population and residency values. Evidence shows us that outcomes for communities improve when physicians that serve them reflect the general population. We are glad that you are interested in rotating with us and look forward to reviewing your application!

  • $1500 in travel assistance
