Paul Brand International Medicine Scholarship

 

Applying is simple. If you are interested, submit an application and two recommendation letters by email to humanities@uthscsa.edu by April 30, 2009 before midnight.

 

All materials are due by email April 30 before midnight. After an initial screening of the applications, there may be an oral interview for the students who are finalists. Winners will be announced June 1, 2009.

 

When
Because of your schedules and interviews, the elective is offered in February or April. We will give preference to those willing to be more flexible with travel dates.

 

What Else
In return for the scholarship and course credit, you will be asked to keep a blog or journal about your experiences during the course of your travel to share with donors to the Center. You should also develop an in-depth understanding of ONE tropical disease, which should be reflected in your blog.

 

You will also be asked to participate in a presentation about your experiences upon your return.

 

The Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics would like to be able to use information from your blogs and journals, as well as selected photos, with credit, for materials the Center produces and for posting on this Web site.

 

Due Dates
All materials are due by midnight on April 30, 2009 by email to humanities@uthscsa.edu. Oral interviews, if required, will take place in the first two weeks of May. Winners will be announced June 1.
