This fall, aspiring healthcare professionals from around the world were given the opportunity to win a scholarship for a clinical rotation. We are excited to share the stories of our three winners. Learn what inspired them to pursue medicine, the specialties they are passionate about, and how an AMO rotation will help them take the next step in their careers.
Meet Isabella: Growing Her Medical Skills Through U.S. Clinical Experience
Isabella, a third-year medical student in Italy, has been drawn to medicine since childhood. Studying in English during her early education taught her adaptability and encouraged her to approach challenges from new perspectives, skills she now brings to her medical journey.
For her, a U.S. clinical rotation is a meaningful step toward becoming the doctor she aspires to be. She is motivated by the opportunity to train in a diverse, fast-paced healthcare environment where she can push herself both academically and clinically.
Volunteering with the Italian Red Cross shaped her outlook, especially a moment with a terminal cancer patient who urged her to embrace every opportunity. That advice stayed with her and helped her say yes to this next chapter.
This rotation represents a rare chance to grow, learn, and challenge herself, and she could not be more ready.
Meet Luis: Expanding His Impact Through Pain Medicine
Luis, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine in Brazil, sees pain not just as a symptom but as a complex condition that shapes recovery and quality of life. His goal is to better understand and manage pain so he can provide more comprehensive care to his patients.
This is why the Pain Medicine rotation at the ArchPoint Pain Institute in Houston is such an important step. The experience will allow him to refine his skills, learn advanced interventional techniques, and bring new approaches back to the athletes and orthopedic patients he treats.
Luis is especially motivated by the chance to learn within a multidisciplinary environment that blends scientific rigor with clinical empathy. With this scholarship, he hopes to expand access to modern pain medicine in his community and elevate the standard of care for those he serves.
Meet Semanur: Turning Loss Into Purpose in Medicine
Semanur’s commitment to medicine deepened after losing her father to cancer in 2021. Witnessing the compassion and expertise of the physicians who cared for him showed her how much a dedicated doctor can impact both patients and their families. That experience shaped her goal of becoming an oncologist so she can support others facing the same challenges and carry forward her father’s legacy.
She hopes to grow into a physician who combines strong clinical skill with humanity, someone who listens, guides, and remains present for every patient. To move toward that goal, she is eager to strengthen her clinical experience and learn from diverse patient populations.
That is why an AMO rotation is such an important step for her. The opportunity will allow her to observe multidisciplinary teamwork, understand clinical decision-making within the U.S. healthcare system, and build confidence through direct patient interaction. For Semanur, this rotation brings her closer to becoming the knowledgeable, compassionate physician she aspires to be.
