With the holidays fast approaching, this isn’t my gift-giving list! This is a shout out to the esteemed ACPM student and resident members who were recipients of travel scholarships for the Preventive Medicine Conference over the past few years – scholarships made possible through the generous contributions of ACPM members.Now is your opportunity to contribute and support the next generation of Preventive Medicine physicians. Scholarships offered through the Future Leaders in Preventive Medicine and the Jacob and Heather Adams Resident Scholarship programs have provided the opportunity for these individuals to attend the ACPM annual conference, be immersed in hours of learning, meet with leaders in the field, discover mentors and learn more about the significant impact preventive medicine physicians make every day in both clinical medicine and public health.
You don’t have to take my word for it … hear why your contributions matter from previous recipients:

- I am humbled, honored, and immensely thankful … The ability to be among like-minded individuals, while making vital networking and mentorship connections at the conference, allows me to learn how other Preventive Medicine physicians are advancing work in population health to improve the lives of individuals in communities across the United States. – Silvia Caswell
- Receiving this scholarship means getting the unique opportunity to connect with and learn from the leaders in the preventive medicine field. This is an area of medicine I am passionate about but get little exposure to in traditional medical training. – Brooklynne Palmer

- Winning this scholarship is an amazing privilege which both supports me financially and professionally as I pursue this amazing specialty within medicine.

And how broad the PM paintbrush stroke really is. – Scott Keel
