PACEP is committed to supporting the next generation of emergency physicians. In 2024, we created a new educational initiative: The Jan Reisinger Emergency Medicine Train in PA Grant. This grant is designed to support medical students pursuing emergency medicine training in Pennsylvania and encourage medical students to complete away rotations in the Commonwealth with the hope they will ultimately remain and practice in the Commonwealth.
PACEP is excited to offer up to two $2,000 grants to cover travel expenses for: - Medical students from outside Pennsylvania applying for an EM away rotation at a Pennsylvania EM residency program, or - Pennsylvania medical students applying for an EM away rotation at a Pennsylvania EM residency program that is more than 50 miles from their home institution. We are proud to be accepting applications for the 2026 grant cycle! Interested medical students must provide the following items when applying: - CV - Brief statement on why you are applying for this scholarship - Essay on the following topic: What drives your passion for Emergency Medicine? (250-350 word limit) - Acceptance not needed for initial application, but provide a list of programs to which you plan to apply.
