Paul Ambrose Scholars Program
The 2011 application cycle for the Paul Ambrose Scholars Program is now open. The program introduces health professions students to influential public health professionals and prepares them to be leaders in addressing public health challenges.
This unique experience brings 40 to 50 students to Washington, D.C. to attend a three-day leadership symposium, which serves to guide them in their own implementation of a micro-grant funded, community-based health education project.
Visit the APTR Web site to apply. Applications are due Monday, Feb. 7, 2011.
