Latino Health Student Research Scholarship

The Latino Health Research Scholarship was developed in 2017 to support, encourage, and facilitate scholarly research and academic engagement by LMSA-West medical students. This scholarship provides an opportunity to fund projects, prepare research, and/or disseminate work in the areas of Latino health and health disparities. The aims of this scholarship are to promote the exchange of information related to Latino health and to increase the number of Latino students and Latino health-focused academic research. LMSA-West provides one scholarship recipient with a one-time research scholarship in the amount of $1,000 to support the development and dissemination of novel research in areas of Latino health and health disparities. The scholarship is sponsored by AltaMed.
