"Osteopathic medicine emphasizes a whole-person approach to treatment. Describe a personal experience or core belief that has shaped your desire to become a physician who cares for the patient, not just the illness. How will this philosophy guide your future practice?"
The selected recipient will be announced on July 15, 2026 through the official website.
The Dr. Wendell Bulmer Scholarship for Future Physicians invites motivated undergraduate students nationwide to apply and take part in this opportunity to further their medical ambitions and contribute to a future grounded in compassionate, whole-person care.
