This scholarship, launched in 2022 during OAFP’s 75^th year and COMP-NW’s 10^th graduating class, is meant to expand the support the OAFP Foundation offers to medical students in Oregon.

In honor of Dr. Eva McCarthy’s leadership and dedication to full-scope osteopathic family medicine in Oregon, and service to the Oregon Academy of Family Physicians, the Academy Foundation established the McCarthy Award, a $3,000 scholarship awarded to a student who has matched to a family medicine residency.

Donors to the OAFP Foundation can target their giving to this award.

Emergency funding is designed to provide temporary, short-term financial assistance to residents. Provided in the form of one-time awards, emergency funding is not intended to provide ongoing relief for recurring expenses; these awards are not loans that residents are expected to repay. The value of the award will range in response to the needs of the resident but does not typically exceed $1,000.
