Rotation and Scholarship Details
Scholarship recipients will participate in the four-week Emory Radiology Advanced Clinical Elective rotation (the Fourth-Year Clinical Elective). During this time, students will rotate through multiple radiology subspecialties over four weeks. Students will work directly with our radiology faculty and residents learning about the radiologist's vital role in the health-care system and in providing direct patient care.
In addition to the clinical rotations, each scholarship recipient will be paired with a faculty mentor and a resident mentor. The mentors will meet on a regular basis with the student to discuss career opportunities in radiology and the residency application process. Participation in our departmental and institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion programming is encouraged and supported during the visiting rotation.
Two scholarships are being offered to medical students who are participating in rotation dates before December 31, 2023. Each $1,250 scholarship can be used for travel, housing, food, or other expenses related to completing the visiting rotation.
