Underrepresented in Medicine Scholarship
Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) Emergency Medicine Residency Program recognizes diversity and inclusion is an important part of the past, present and future of medicine both in terms of medical education, as well as patient care outcomes. We also recognize that our residency training program needs to take an active role in addressing healthcare inequities that are pervasive throughout medicine. We are committed growing as a program and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to partner with us on this important journey.
To help promote those who are Underrepresented in Medicine (URM), the Department of Emergency and Hospital Medicine is proud to offer four $1,000 scholarships for those whose backgrounds are underrepresented in medicine.
