Rural Access to Anesthesia Care Committee Scholarship:

The Committee on Rural Access to Anesthesia Care is proud to announce a new ASA scholarship program for medical students studying anesthesiology in rural areas. The ASA House of Delegates approved a pilot program on October 18, 2006, for $10,000 per year for three years. Medical students will be able to apply for scholarships to pay for expenses up to $750 for travel and lodging for a rural clerkship.

This newly created program allows medical students access to community medical centers in rural areas.  Students experience highly enriching clinical education not available to students training in large metropolitan medical centers.       

In many rural centers, students may be involved in patient care in many different areas of the hospital.
