James G. Jones, MD, Student Scholarship Program

2013 Scholarship Recipient

Joshua Shapiro, a third-year medical student at Rush Medical College, will attend the Family Medicine Congressional Conference in Washington, D.C. on May 14-15, 2013.

The James G. Jones, MD, Student Scholarship  was created as a way for Dr. Jones to demonstrate his continuing commitment to the education of medical students. His yearly donation to the AAFP Foundation supports one medical student to attend the annual Family Medicine Congressional Conference, held in Washington, D.C.

The Family Medicine Congressional Conference (FMCC) is sponsored jointly by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the Council of Academic Family Medicine (CAFM). The meeting is designed to inform participants about health policy issues at the Congressional level and provide them with skills to advocate for family medicine and improved health care of the American people.

Visit the Family Medicine Congressional Conference for more information.

Next year's application information will be posted in January 2014.
