The following Family Medicine students were awarded a scholarship to attend an American Academy of Family Physicians Conference through The Direction Fund for Medical Students in the Wayne State University School of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences.  This fund was created using philanthropic funds from a friend of Family Medicine to provide valuable resources for initiatives that inspire and encourage promising students to pursue family medicine as their chosen career. The chance to relieve the financial burden of attending a conference is just one of the fund’s uses. The awardees will use the scholarship to attend conferences with the goal of meeting peers and leaders in the field from around the country and to develop professional and leadership skills for future roles in the communities they serve as family medicine professionals.
