scholarships
Our work is to increase and improve education for all physicians about all aspects of addiction, highlighting the clinical continuum of diagnosis, treatment and recovery for the patient and family members. We do that by involving selected residents in addiction medicine conferences, learning side by side with specialists in practice of addiction medicine, in mentored activities.
2011 MERF Scholarship registration is now closed. 2012 scholarship information will be available July 2012.
To increase the opportunities for residents and their faculty to learn about the diagnosis and treatment of alcoholism and other drug dependencies, MERF offers scholarships annually to these three-day conference on addiction medicine. Scholarships are offered to both physicians in training and teaching faculty in residency training programs.
Activities for residents–such as case discussions, brief meetings with faculty members, a dinner meeting and a lunch meeting–are scheduled during each conference. Scholarship recipients sit together during the conference and participate in activities designed for them.
The scholarship pays the conference registration fee and a stipend to offset travel and overnight costs. Each year, applications open in June and are due in August.
