Humanism in Medicine Scholarship

Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA)

The osteopathic medical student who receives the Humanism in Medicine Scholarship should reflect the benevolent character exemplified by those members of our osteopathic family who perished on October 19, 2004. These eight members were flying to Kirksville, Missouri to explore ways of improving and developing a "Compassionate Campus" at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. The applicants will be judged on how well they demonstrate in their character the philosophy of osteopathic medicine, unconditional love for their community and peers, leadership and dedication, compassion and empathy, spirit and enthusiasm. This scholarship is sponsored by Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc.
