Funding - Faculty, Residents and Medical Students
Through the generosity of
benefactors interested in global health, three separate Wake Forest School of
Medicine funds were established that offer financial assistance to selected
medical students, residents and faculty for global health experiences.
The funds and the purpose of each fund, as stated in the fund agreement, are:
Becton-Tannenbaum Award
Fund
“To provide financial
assistance to one or more students, enrolled in the Doctor Medicine program at
any level, for travel to a developing or “third-world” country to gain an
awareness of and appreciation for the medical communities or systems of such
countries and how they compare with the communities and systems in the United
States.”
Wake Forest University
Medical Mission Training Fund
“To provide financial support
to MD students and residents who wish to pursue Christian medical missions
training. “
Pennell Pro Humanitate
Vitae Fund
“The Pennell Pro
Humanitate Vitae Fund was created to support and facilitate volunteer medical
service in less developed countries by faculty, residents, and medical students
of Wake Forest University Health Sciences, North Carolina Baptist Hospital and
Wake Forest University School of Medicine.”
Applications to the Pennell
Pro Humanitate Vitae Fund are accepted on a rolling basis
and should be submitted within 1 – 6 months prior to the date of travel.
Applications will be reviewed beginning January 1 and the first of the month
every 2 months thereafter. The review process usually takes 8 weeks
for completion.
Applications to the Wake
Forest University Medical Mission Training Fund are accepted and reviewed three
times each year (see application) and should be submitted up to 6 months prior
to the date of travel.
Applications to the
Becton-Tannenbaum Award Fund are accepted and reviewed annually. In late
December, 2017/early January 2018, directions regarding the application process
will be sent to the medical student classes via email.
Contact the Office of Global Health to receive a copy of the application which you wish to submit.
