APOLLOMD ANNOUNCES 2021 EM RESIDENCY SCHOLARSHIP WINNER

Our ApolloMD Executive Board proudly awards the 4th Annual Emergency Medicine Scholarship to Travis Eurick, MD, currently a resident at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego, California.

“ApolloMD’s goal is to reward young physicians for their focus on providing top-quality care to the communities they serve,” said Dr. Michael Dolister, ApolloMD CEO. “We know the future of health care lies in the hands of dedicated resident physicians like Dr. Eurick who work hard to gain experience and learn the practice of medicine. We hope by offering this annual scholarship we can reduce a small portion of the financial burden.”

Dr. Eurick was barely a teenager when his father succumbed to sudden cardiac arrest. The tragic incident sparked a mission, driving him to seek out ways to prevent others from experiencing such a devastating loss. That motivation pushed him toward the study of health care, influencing his decision to double major in Human Biology and Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at University of Southern California, and then on to USC’s Keck School of Medicine.

“After navigating my grief, I developed a conviction to prevent others from experiencing the suffering of premature death,” he reflects. “As a future emergency medicine physician, I hope to accomplish this goal by caring for patients and their families in their time of greatest need.” His time in school has been marked not only by academic success, but also by a commitment to community service. Dr. Eurick regularly volunteered in economically challenged neighborhoods, worked with a missionary group in Mexico, and served as vice-president of the USC Homelessness Outreach Partnership for Education and Empowerment (HOPE2).

“I have discovered that I find my joy in serving the underserved,” he reveals, “…I find it fulfilling to care for the working-class community that supported me in my endeavor to become a physician. In this spirit, I aim to treat patients who would otherwise fall through the cracks in our health care system. I am drawn to emergency medicine because it will allow me to meet patients at the front door, providing care with procedural interventions and imaging to whoever needs me, whenever they need me.”
