Violet Zuvela Pirmary Care IM Scholarship Awards

Congratulations to Claire Dunn, Pearl Griffiths, Jessica Huang, and Alex Wickens, the 2026 recipients of the Violet Zuvela Primary Care IM Scholarship Awards.

These awards was created in 2017 by the generosity of the late Violet Zuvela, who was a patient of Dr. Douglas Paauw, former director of Medicine Student Programs.

The Zuvela Fund serves as a deeply meaningful tribute to Violet, while at the same time, provides a scholarship in the amount of $1500 for students with a career interest in primary care internal medicine whose work exemplifies the value of patient-centered care.
