Number of Possible Stipends:

Award amounts will depend on the number of applications, and or available funds and will not exceed $300 for any individual student.

Purpose:  

The purpose of the Primary Care Conference Grant is to partially reimburse the expenses incurred by current KSOM MD students during travel to primary care (family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, geriatrics, women’s health) conferences that are related to the student’s training in primary care specialties. The Primary Care Conference Grant is to be considered supplemental to other sources of funding, such as the USC Student Government Conference Travel Grant Program (http://gsg.usc.edu/finance/conference-travel-grants).

Criteria for Application:

The applicant must be a registered student in the KSOM MD program at the time of the conference. Students may be considered for this grant only if it’s within the current academic year (up to $300). Priority will be given to students who are presenting at the conference, but students who are attending only may also apply.

Application materials include: 

  1. A copy of the abstract for the paper/poster that has been accepted at the conference no more than 2000 words.
  2. Proof that your abstract or presentation has been accepted (i.e., letter from the conference organizers).
  3. A brief description of the conference (title, objectives, etc.).
  4. A brief description of why you would like to attend the conference.
