John Snow Scholarship

Tuesday, 13 July 2010 16:21

The John Snow Scholarship is one of the Australasian Faculty of Public Health Medicine's programs aimed at strengthening and enhancing education in public health medicine at all levels of the career pathway.

The Scholarship aims to increase the proportion of medical students who are able to identify:
a) public health medicine as a medical specialty or potential career, and 
b) the AFPHM as the learned college for public health medicine training, by providing opportunities for intellectual and social discourse between medical students and AFPHM Fellows and trainees.

 

This will be achieved through a national competition inviting medical students to:

  • Identify a piece of written work relating to any of the AFPHM competencies that they have submitted for formative or summative assessment to their medical school,
  • Reflect on this piece of work, and
  • Submit both the piece of work and reflection for assessment and selection of a state/territory prize winner by AFPHM fellows and trainees.

 

As with the AFPHM's Gerry Murphy prize (for AFPHM trainees), the winner from each state will be provided with registration and travel assistance to attend next year's AFPHM National Annual Scientific meeting to present their work and compete for the national prize.

This strategy was chosen because it builds on, rather than adding to or interfering with, any medical school's public health curriculum, and because it facilitates deeper learning by requiring students to reflect on their previous work. Click here for the website

 

Applications close 30 August 2010.
