ELEVaTED Visiting Scholars Award
The U of U Health Obstetrics and Gynecology Department greatly values the strength that varied perspectives bring to the success and reach of our mission and vision in our clinical, academic, and research teams.
To that end, we seek to elevate the visibility of our OB/GYN training program among prospective trainees who identify with groups that have not historically pursued careers in medicine.
We invite interested and eligible fourth-year medical students to experience what makes the UoU ObGyn training program special.
