NC Diversity & Equity in Emergency Medicine Scholarship

The NC Diversity and Equity in Emergency Medicine Scholarship Fund was created by Wake Emergency Physicians, PA and Mid-Atlantic Emergency Medical Associates out of a desire to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in the medical field, specifically in emergency medicine. Scholarships are awarded to second year MD or DO students or first-year Physician Assistant students who identify as underrepresented minorities and are attending school in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, or Virginia. Applicants should also either be a resident of North Carolina or intend to practice medicine in North Carolina immediately after completion of their degree program.

“We are deeply grateful for your support of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. Your generous efforts through the Wake Emergency’s 2024 Team Virtual Fundraiser raised a total amount of $15,000.00, and those combined gifts are putting food on the tables of people facing hunger in our community. Your fundraising team rallied to exceed your team goal. Thank you! Every day, we hear challenges from parents worried about their kids, seniors experiencing hunger, or families visiting a food pantry for the first time. Because of you, our neighbors in need can receive much more than food. You give them a lifeline.”
