The scholarship opens its 2026 application cycle to undergraduate students enrolled at accredited institutions across the United States who are pursuing a path toward becoming a Medical Doctor. The program reflects Dr. Facemyer's long-held conviction that a healthcare system built on early intervention and patient education is more sustainable, equitable, and effective than one centered solely on reactive treatment.

Through this scholarship, he seeks to identify passionate, forward-thinking students who understand the critical role prevention plays in modern medicine and who are prepared to carry that philosophy into their careers as physicians.

Applicants are required to submit an original essay of 750 to 1,000 words responding to the following prompt:

"Describe how you envision the role of Preventative Medicine in the future of healthcare, and explain how you plan to contribute as a Physician to advancing patient wellness and community health."

Strong submissions will demonstrate an understanding of interdisciplinary approaches within Primary Care, including the collaborative relationship between a Medical Doctor and a Nurse Practitioner, the application of advanced diagnostic technologies such as mobile ultrasound, and the broader impact of integrated Family Medicine on community health.
