R. MAX CORNLEY 18C 20PH 25M
Max Cornely is a fourth-year medical student in the Class of 2025: "I am actively involved as a student leader in The Council for the Advancement of Black Voices in Medical Education, while also serving on multiple administrative committees in the School of Medicine addressing anti racism and medical education. As a first-generation Haitian immigrant, I am dedicated to addressing health inequities in marginalized communities and hope to remedy them after graduating. With the help of this scholarship, I have been able to fulfill my aim of servitude to these communities even as a medical student. My efforts were recognized when I was awarded the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Herbert W. Nickens Medical Student Scholarship Award; presented to five students nationally based on health equity innovations in medical education. I am honored to receive this scholarship and would like to thank the generous donors. My success and service work would not have been possible without your financial support and contributions. With this appreciation, I will practice conscientious medicine as a physician-ally one day. I am grateful for your thoughtful generosity in supporting my graduate medical education. Without donors such as yourself, I would not be able to pursue my dream of being an advocate for equity in healthcare as a future physician."
