Scholarship support relieves pressure for medical student
February 17, 2021
Medical school is not for the faint of heart. When student Anthony DeMarco describes his third year of medical school at UC College of Medicine, it includes a complicated schedule juggling eight to 12-hour rotations in different areas of medicine. He has alternated between family medicine, emergency medicine, obstetrics and surgery in a short time.
It can be stressful and expensive. But as someone who has always enjoyed connecting with people, listening and giving counsel, Anthony felt called by his faith to be a doctor. A scholarship from the IvaDean Student Scholarship Fund allows him to focus on his aspirations.
