Awarded to exceptional medical students in their final year of medical school, Adina Harri MED’25 is among 37 students nationwide to receive a scholarship from the Physicians of Tomorrow program—a longstanding American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation initiative celebrating diversity in education.
“It means a lot to me to be recognized amongst colleagues nationally who are committed to health equity, and I think it’s important for students to receive this type of financial support,” Harri says. “I’m grateful to those at Geisel who helped me apply for this—Margot, Michelle, and Dino at the financial aid office, and to Dr. Pinto-Powell and Dr. Pellegrini for their support.”
This scholarship builds on the AMA Foundation’s commitment to advancing medical education and leadership by helping to create an inclusive health care system that reflects the evolving needs of U.S. patient populations.
In addition, funds created by state medical societies and associations expand the AMA Foundation’s impact, allowing for a broader reach and more substantial student support.
In announcing this year’s scholarship recipients, Albert Ray, MD, FAAFP, president of the AMA Foundation Board of Directors, expressed pride in and enthusiasm for the recipients.
“We are thrilled to support these outstanding students as they embark on their medical careers,” Ray says. “Their dedication and passion for medicine is truly inspiring, and we are confident they will make significant contributions to the field of medicine and the nation’s health.”
The competitive application process considered academic achievements, financial need, community involvement, and a demonstrated commitment to equity in medicine.
