He received his M.D. and his training at the University of Pennsylvania, and then setup a solo practice in Rutherford County.

He practiced radiology in Charlotte for forty years until he retired. He passed away in 1964.<\/p>\n<p>The criteria for the award include academic achievement, service to humanity, and breadth of personal and educational experience, with preference given to students who graduated from a high school in North Carolina.

McLean, M.D., Ph.D., who was a visionary in medical education. Dr. McLean was accustomed to breaking &#8220;new ground,&#8221; first as a founding medical director of the Peking University Medical College in China and then as the first chairman of the department of medicine of the University of Chicago&#8217;s teaching hospital and head of the University of Chicago Clinics. Dr. McLean was acutely aware of the paucity of &#8220;Negro&#8221; doctors who were trained in the medical sub-specialties. Determined to effect change in this area, Dr. McLean and a group of colleagues formed Provident Medical Associates; an organization that provided opportunities for subspecialty training to doctors on staff at Provident Hospital in Chicago. This organization later became National Medical Fellowships, Inc. There are many NMF Scholarship programs, and they all consider both merit and financial need.<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility and Application Requirements for National Medical Fellowships (varies by program):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>U.S. citizen or DACA approval letter<\/li>\n<li>Currently enrolled in an accredited U.S. medical school<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrated leadership ability<\/li>\n<li>Commitment to serving medically underserved communities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"external-link\" title=\"National Medical Fellowships Website\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nmfonline.org\/about-our-scholarships-and-awards\/general-scholarships-awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to apply or find more information about the National Medical Fellowships.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ome\/finaid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/723\/2018\/06\/PisacanoLeadershipFoundation-300x91.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"91\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ome\/finaid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/723\/2018\/06\/PisacanoLeadershipFoundation-300x91.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ome\/finaid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/723\/2018\/06\/PisacanoLeadershipFoundation-150x45.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/ome\/finaid\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/723\/2018\/06\/PisacanoLeadershipFoundation.jpg 666w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #007fae\">Pisacano Scholars Leadership Program<\/h3>\n<p>Amount: $28,000<\/p>\n<p>Deadline: March 1<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility: Third year medical students pursuing family medicine.<\/p>\n<p>The Pisacano Leadership Foundation (PLF) seeks to advance family medicine by providing well-educated, community-minded leaders in primary care.
