Based on an eloquent essay, an extraordinary commitment to emergency medicine, and experience gained at one of Brooklyn’s busiest emergency departments, Bilal Shaukat, DO, is the winner of ApolloMD’s 6th Annual Emergency Medicine Residency Scholarship.

The most meaningful health care awards are those that come from patients. ApolloMD congratulates our own Jesse Ellsworth, MD, an emergency medicine physician at our partner Novant Kernersville Medical Center in Kernersville, NC.

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.

Our robust ApolloMD growth calls for the extension of clinical leadership roles to champion our dynamic teams. To answer that call, we introduce a team of Regional Vice Presidents that are clinical leaders managing a roster of facilities while supporting company operations in other areas. These leaders will work closely with the Regional and Divisional Presidents, and the operations support assigned to the geographic region.

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.
