| The
Nicholas J Pisacano Award |
|
Background and Purpose
The American Board of Family Practice (ABFP) established the
Nicholas J. Pisacano, M.D. Memorial Foundation in tribute to
the founder and first Executive Director of the ABFP. Dr. Pisacano
is recognized as one of the leaders in the effort to recognize
Family Practice as a major specialty. Dr. Pisacano was a strong
advocate of the original precepts laid down by Hippocrates.
He believed that the welfare of the patient was utmost, and
that physicians should be broadly educated. With these ideals
in mind, the Nicholas J. Pisacano, M.D. Memorial Foundation
seeks to promote a level of excellence and dedication in students
commitment to a career in Family Practice by providing funding
for accomplished students and physicians in the field of Family
Practice.
The award provides funding for outstanding fourth-year medical
students for a four year period. Students must make a strong
commitment to the specialty of Family Practice. The funding
program is designed to reimburse a portion of medical school
debt incurred by the student by the conclusion of the required
three-year Family Practice residency. The Foundation is especially
interested in students who exhibit the highest levels of skill,
compassion, and leadership. Although the scholarships are intended
to reduce the level of medical-school-related debt, financial
need is not a consideration. The maximum scholarship award is
$28,000
