Student awards are sponsored by Ohio ACOFP and presented annually by the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine at the DOC awards ceremony in the spring. Recipients are selected by the OU-HCOM Family Practice Department and receive a textbook, eg The Color Atlas of Family Medicine, as well as a $100 cash award.
Ohio ACOFP/Katherine H. Clark Fellowship
This fellowship supports Family Medicine fellows, called Primary Care Associates (PCA), at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Selection Procedure and Criteria
Scholarship will be awarded to individuals who are OU-HCOM PCAs who choose to pursue a family medicine residency with Osteopathic Recognition in Ohio.
Each associate who opts to train in a family medicine residency program with Osteopathic Recognition will be awarded $1,000 from this fund, in support of their residency program training to be used at the discretion of the recipients. Should there be more than one graduating associate opting for a family medicine residency with Osteopathic Recognition, the award would be split equally among the recipients. Should there be no graduates in any single year that select a family medicine residency with Osteopathic Recognition, the proceeds of this endowment will be retained until the following year(s) to support the recommendation as stated above.
Students should contact the Office of Student Affairs for more information.
