The Pisacano Scholars Leadership Program offers many career development opportunities, as well as scholarship funding, to the future leaders of family medicine. The Pisacano Scholars participate in annual Leadership Skills Development Symposia and are offered a multitude of educational programs and mentoring relationships with current leaders in the field of family medicine.
Award
Upon selection, each Pisacano scholar will receive an annual scholarship of $5000 during their final year of medical school and their first three years of Family Medicine training (four years total, regardless of residency length).
Scholars are expected to attend annual leadership skills development symposia organized by PLF each year. Hotel and meals are covered by the Pisacano Leadership Foundation. An additional $2000/year will be provided for travel expenses to attend the leadership symposia. Any remaining funds will be available to reimburse scholars for other leadership development activities that they wish to pursue, once approved by the Pisacano Leadership Foundation.
Eligibility
Applicants entering their fourth year (full-time) in a U.S. medical school in the fall of the application year will be considered. Applicants must have declared family medicine as their specialty.
