APTR Announces the 2014 Class of Paul Ambrose Scholars

Tuesday, April 29, 2014  

APTR announces the 2014 class of Paul Ambrose Scholars. Forty students were selected from 28 academic health professions institutions representing medicine, dentistry, nursing and physician assistant.  The scholars will attend the Paul Ambrose Student Leadership Symposium in Washington, DC June 20-22, 2014.

The Paul Ambrose Scholars Program prepares public health and clinical health professions students to address population health challenges at the national and community level. This program seeks to meet the current and future health needs of the public by providing mini-grant funds to implement a Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators project within a student's community or at their academic institution. Since 2002, more than 500 students from over 160 academic institutions have become Paul Ambrose Scholars.
