ACP Oregon Walter J. McDonald Travel Scholarship

ACP Oregon Walter J. McDonald Travel Scholarship

This scholarship, in honor of beloved Oregon physician and ACP Master Dr. Walt McDonald, supports travel to national ACP events for trainees with demonstrated scholarship and commitment to careers in internal medicine. We at Oregon ACP believe this honors Dr. McDonald’s passion for early-career learners as well as his long-term service to the College.
