CONGRATULATIONS:The SPAARC would like to congratulate Jared Heathman (MS-II) on his acceptance to the Betty Ford Center Summer Institute for Medical Students. Lauren Thaxton (MS-I) is honored as an alternate for this nationally competitive program. The BFC Summer Institute for Medical Students is a unique educational experience allowing medical students to gain understanding and insight into addictive disease and the recovery process. Participants have the opportunity to spend five days observing and participating with patients or a family member at the Betty Ford Center. Jared will be working in the Residential Day Treatment Program that focuses addressing the needs of professionals who work in safety-sensitive jobs or who need extended treatment in a structured setting. Jared will present a presentation to his fellow medical students in the fall on his experience working at the Betty Ford Center. SPAARC member Dr. Gregory Schrimsher annually seeks medical students interested in this opportunity and supports their applications. This is an annual program, and the SPAARC will again support interested medical student applicants next year. Information about the BFC Summer Institute for Medical Students is available at http://www.bettyfordcenter.org/training/summerinst/ |
