For treatments ranging from a simple suture to a complicated surgical abdomen, every patient wants to receive care from a competent, confident, self-assured health care professional. Those key factors – competence, confidence, and self-assurance – lie at the heart of ApolloMD’s award-winning Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) Advancement Program.

Applications are now being accepted for ApolloMD’s 2023 Emergency Medicine Scholarship for Residents.

Now in its sixth year, the scholarship supports medical residents who are pursuing a career in emergency medicine. It reflects ApolloMD’s commitment to support resident physicians who are eager to pursue their passion for emergency medicine and high-quality, patient-centered healthcare.

The last couple of years presented challenges for everyone, spotlighting strengths and teaching us valuable lessons about personal and professional growth. At ApolloMD, we focus on building support systems to enhance the wellness, safety, and research opportunities for our clinicians as well as for all those in the industry. In alignment with that focus, we expanded our outreach efforts by donating funds to nonprofits championing these areas — Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, the Emergency Medicine Foundation, and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Foundation –mirroring our vision statement: “Healthy Clinicians. Healthy Patients. Healthy Communities.”

Our ApolloMD Executive Board proudly awards the 5th Annual Emergency Medicine Scholarship to Gagandeep Singh, MD, currently an Ultrasound Fellow at Jacobi/Montefiore Medical Centers in Bronx, NY.

When David Thompson, MPAS, PA-C, reports to the ER his performance exemplifies a grace-under-pressure style honed by years of experience working in extremely difficult circumstances, including deployments around the world in combat and in support of combat operations. His patients benefit from the laser focus of a highly skilled PA who also happens to be a decorated, high-ranking officer in the U. S. Armed Forces.

Many physicians and health care professionals leave their graduate education programs with a mountain of student loan debt from funding those hard-earned degrees. Navigating a strategy for paying medical school loans can seem daunting, particularly when also preparing for the next stage in a demanding career.

The risks for burnout, exhaustion, and stress have always been high for health care professionals, but the additional challenges presented by the pandemic both exposed and exacerbated the inherent problems. Through a partnership with WHOOP, individuals receive personalized data at their fingertips. Our hope is to empower clinicians to monitor and optimize health with clinical-grade accuracy, while providing a baseline from which to note actionable changes.
