Robert C. Knapp Medical Student Award
In 2011 H.O.W. established the Dr. Robert C. Knapp Medical Student Award. This award allows medical students to shadow a board certified gynecologic oncologist. Priority will be given to Florida medical students. H.O.W. will select no more than five medical students who are on their elective between the first and second year or any elective time there after. The Chairman of the Dept. of Obstetric and Gynecology at the medical school may recommend the student to H.O.W. and H.O.W. will make the selection. The time spent must be a minimum of four weeks or more and each student will write and submit to H.O.W. his or her experience. Each student will receive an award of $3,000. If the student presents at a recognized society, H.O.W. will contribute $2,000 toward the expenses in addition. With this award, H.O.W. hopes the students will consider a career in gynecologic oncology.
