We’re proud to enroll the world’s best and brightest; scholarships help us do just that. Below, students share how scholarship funding has shaped their goals and futures.
Broadening professional aspirations
“It makes me feel like I can do anything. I can choose any specialty, do community-based work or go into academic medicine because I don’t have to worry about debt. It’s very freeing.”
Janessa A. Sullivan, MD ’23
Plastic Surgery (Integrated) Resident, Yale-New Haven Hospital
Improving medical care in Nigeria
“In addition to being a doctor, I want to play a bigger role in improving health-care access for people who really need it. To do that, I needed other skills to help me understand the business side of health care. Scholarships have allowed me to get those skills.”
Stanley S. Chibueze, MD ’23, MBA ’23
Psychiatry Resident, Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Advocating for change
“My scholarship has allowed me to recognize how I might build a career that improves the health of patients and communities. I know my training will make me a better clinician and give me tools to advocate for and implement change in medical education, the health-care system and beyond.”
Sarah Y. Cohen, MD ’23
Obstetrics-Gynecology Resident, Barnes-Jewish Hospital
Exploring new pathways
“The expectations, length of training and then going under the hood for $260,000 — that’s a lot of pressure. Having one of those huge burdens taken away has allowed me to enjoy my time here.”
