Chelsea, I am so glad you posted these. Thankfully this year I was on top of it, but I am so surprised that none of our professors ever help point these things out!
Hey - great blog here! We love reading about what students are doing to further the future of the field. I wanted to let you know that the networking organization the Society for the Arts in Healthcare also just launched a student scholarship, which you can see more about here: http://www.thesah.org/template/page.cfm?page_id=753. If you think this is worthwhile for your audience, please pass on the word!
Best,
Cara (Society for the Arts in Healthcare Admin Coordinator)
