Dr Paul Stuart McCarthy Memorial Prize

The Dr Paul Stuart McCarthy Memorial Prize is awarded annually to one Year 4 Doctor of Medicine student at The University of Queensland who has undertaken an approved clinical rotation interstate or overseas. Established in 2008 and maintained by the income from a donation of $25,000 by Mrs Haila McCarthy on behalf of her family, the prize honors the memory of her son Dr Paul Stuart McCarthy. The prize values approximately $3,000 and is awarded for one year. Selection is based on the student's interest and benefits derived from the interstate or overseas study experience, as well as their demonstration of integrity of character, contribution to the UQMS (University of Queensland Medical Society), involvement in community service, and demonstrated interest in sport or adventure or both. Applicants must submit a report outlining their clinical study experience and a personal statement addressing the selection criteria.
