Cleveland Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Medical Student Award

The Cleveland Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CLEsog) awards the “best medical student in OB/GYN” with an interest in pursuing a career in OB/GYN.

What is the award? The award consists of a certificate and $500.

How is the award decided? The CLEsog executive committee will review all applications and choose the award recipient based on the greatest commitment to women’s health and anticipation of a successful future in obstetrics and gynecology. Application for the award requires a brief personal statement indicating why you should be considered, two letters of recommendation, one of which should be from your clerkship director or clerkship department chair, a copy of your score from step one of the boards, and a CV that lists your jobs, experiences, awards, honors, and research, particularly as they relate to women’s health.

Who is eligible? Any student at CWRU School of Medicine, CCLCM or NEOUCOM who will be graduating in 2024 and plans to apply for residency in OB/GYN or another field focusing on women’s health may apply for this award.

When is the application due? Supporting materials must be received by Pat Wolf, administrator for the Cleveland Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, at [email protected] by September 30, 2023.

When is it awarded?  The recipient of the award will be notified in October 2023 so the honor can be noted on their residency applications. The award will be also formally announced at the CLEsog educational meeting on January 24 or  March 20, 2024 at the Doubletree Hotel in Independence. All students who have applied will be invited to attend the meeting at no charge, and the recipient be called up to receive the award when it is announced.

Residencies are VERY COMPETITIVE!  Improve your odds by applying for the award! You will need to collect much of this information for residency applications anyway.  If you have any questions, please contact Pat Wolf at [email protected] or Dr. Suchetha Kshettry at [email protected]
