Sheridan Healthcare Announces Anesthesiologist Assistant Student Scholarship Winner
Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) April 23, 2014 -- Sheridan Healthcare, Inc., a multispecialty clinical and management services company and the leading anesthesia provider in the country, today announced that Marya Williamson is the winner of the 2014 Sheridan National Allied Health Scholarship for Anesthesiologist Assistant Students.
“We are so pleased to award Marya with this year’s scholarship,” said Gilbert Drozdow, M.D., M.B.A., chief clinical officer and president of anesthesia services at Sheridan. “We are pleased our scholarship program continues to recognize hardworking and dedicated students who have chosen anesthesiology as a profession and who will be the future leaders of this field.”
The $5,000 scholarship recognizes student anesthesiologist assistants enrolled in a nationally accredited anesthesiology program for exemplary clinical and leadership skills. Candidates are evaluated based on reference letters, a brief essay on their decision to enter the anesthesiology field, clinical work, and their involvement in extracurricular activities and professional associations.
Williamson will graduate from Nova Southeastern University College of Health Care Sciences Master of Science in Anesthesia in August 2014. Williamson is a student member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the American Academy of Anesthesiologists and the Florida Society of Anesthesiologists. She was also an independent author and presenter of the academic poster “Effect of Anesthetic Technique on Neurological Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke Patients,” at the 2013 American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants Conference in Orlando, Fla. Williamson received the award at the 2014 American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants Conference in Hilton Head, SC.
“I am honored and humbled to receive the Sheridan National Allied Health Scholarship,” expressed Williamson. “I set out on this journey aspiring to offer quality clinical care and become a source of comfort to patients at a point in their lives when they feel extremely vulnerable: as they enter surgery. I respect and hold dear the trust that patients put into our hands, and I want to give 100% to my patients 100% of the time. With Sheridan's support, I feel one step closer to achieving this goal.”
