Future Leaders in Preventive Medicine Award

If you are a medical student interested in learning more about the specialty of preventive medicine, attending ACPM’s annual conference is a must! The ACPM annual conference gives students the opportunity to interact with leaders in the field and learn more about the significant impact preventive medicine physicians make every day in both clinical medicine and public health.

Attending a professional conference can be expensive for a medical student, and ACPM is excited to announce a limited number of $1,000 scholarships that are available specifically to support student attendance at the annual conference. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of ACPM members who have donated specifically to help support and nurture the next generation of preventive medicine physicians.

Requirements:

MUST BE AN ACPM STUDENT MEMBER | Not a member? Join here!
Complete the Medical Student Scholarship application
Submit a brief cover letter with a personal statement that highlights what participation in the ACPM annual conference means to you
Upload a letter of recommendation with your application

Applications for the scholarships close on January 16.
