Two third-year Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine students who completed a core rotation at Florida Hospital East Orlando―Kelli McCarrell and Zachary Virgin―each received a $5,000 scholarship from the Osteopathic Foundation of East Orlando for demonstrating excellence in leadership and academics. The scholarship is awarded to third-year core medical students from the medical school based on criteria such as exemplary grade-point average, personal statement, letters of recommendation, and curriculum vitae.
The award was presented on Feb. 24 during the 109th Annual Florida Osteopathic Medical Association (FOMA) Convention held in Weston.
