2003 Dr E Bruce Elliott Memorial Scholarship

To NSAEHA Members and Friends:
PLEASE GIVE THIS INFORMATION TO YOUR PHYSICIAN OR TO OTHERS WHO
MAY BE INTERESTED IN APPLYING.   TIME IS SHORT.

The Nova Scotia Allergy and Environmental Health Association (NSAEHA) is
pleased to announce the 2003 Dr E Bruce Elliott Memorial Scholarship to send at least one more Nova Scotian physician to the USA to advance their skills in Environmental Medicine.  Last year we were able to send three doctors for training. Their new skills and their enthusiasm for what they learned is really making a difference!   Your support is needed for continuing success!

The scholarship program was developed to address the serious lack of doctors trained in environmental medicine practicing in Nova Scotia.  The problem became especially severe after the death of Dr. Bruce Elliott in 1999, so the scholarship was created in Dr. Elliott's name.  

Deadline for applications for this year is February 24, 2003.  Application forms and further information follow.  

Donations for the NSAEHA Elliott Memorial Scholarship Fund can be sent to:

NSAEHA
P.O Box 31323   
Halifax, NS, B3K 5Y5.  

Five-day training course in Environmental Medicine, April 3 - 7, 2003, Plano, Texas. 
Deadline for physician applications, February 24, 2003.

We invite Nova Scotian physicians to experience the positive difference that an understanding and application of Environmental Medicine can make to your practice.
 
In 2002, the Dr. E. Bruce Elliott Memorial Scholarship sent three Nova Scotian physicians to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine's (AAEM) course in Environmental Medicine.   The recipients returned very enthusiastic about the new skills that they are now using to treat their patients.  The recipients are willing to answer questions about the programs, and we can put you in touch with them upon request. (call 902- 457-3002)
