This year’s Harold H. Hedges III MD Endowed Scholarships in Family Medicine have been awarded to three UAMS medical students who matched into FM residency programs throughout Arkansas.
The winners are listed below with a sampling of comments from their applications.
KENDALL BOOKER (UAMS Rural Track Program, Crossett): “I love the diversity and flexibility of Family Medicine. I could see myself returning to southeast Arkansas, practicing full scope Family Medicine and pouring back into the same community that built me.”
CHRISTOPHER BRAZEAL (Baptist/UAMS NLR): “I hope to be a Family Medicine doctor in a small town that is helping people live their best lives and maybe teaching future practitioners if things work out that way!”
TONY ROLLER (UAMS Northwest Fayetteville): “With deep-rooted connections to Northwest Arkansas, I am eager to contribute to the wellness of my community and to serve this community long after residency.”
