Visiting Medical Student Diversity Scholarship

The Department of Emergency Medicine at Sidney Kimmel Medical College is pleased to offer three scholarships for EM-bound students whose backgrounds are underrepresented in medicine. The scholarships may be used for travel, housing, and incidental expenses related to the month-long sub-internship. Students will be responsible for their own housing and travel arrangements.

• The Visiting Medical Student Diversity Scholarship supports rising 4th year medical students from other medical colleges who wish to complete Emergency Medicine (EM) Sub-Internship within the Department of Emergency Medicine for the months of August, September, or October.
• We will offer three (3), $1500 stipends during this academic cycle to help defray the cost of transportation, fees, and housing expenses.
• We encourage Underrepresented Minority (URM) Medical Students to apply to explore an interest in emergency medicine.

Who Should Apply?

Highly motivated rising 4th year medical students, including those that identify as URM (e.g. African American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Hispanic/Latino, Pacific Islander, LGBTQ) or from disadvantaged backgrounds, who are interested in gaining exposure and experience in EM and would appreciate the opportunity to network with Jefferson Emergency Medicine residents and faculty members.
