“The Physician Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to students who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a fully accredited school of medicine or osteopathic medicine in the continental U.S.,” said Robert McDevitt, M.D., Wilson’s chief of staff. “Awards will be made to outstanding students who have demonstrated academic excellence and who show definite need.”
Applicants must be graduates of a Shelby County high school. “We will award up to $2,000 to the chosen applicant,” Dr. McDevitt explained. A sub-committee of the Medical Staff Executive Committee will make the final decision.
