The Eran and N.Q. Adams Endowed Scholarship was established to support, in the early stages of their careers, young physicians engaged in neurology who wish to gain a better understanding of dysautonomia. Third and fourth-year medical students at USA were invited to submit applications for the scholarship that included a unique research or learning opportunity.
