The American Medical Association's Women Physicians Section and the AMA Foundation have selected the recipients of their annual research grants program, according to a Sept. 7 news release.
Each September, the Joan F. Giambalvo Fund for the Advancement of Women Award provides scholarships up to $10,000 to study and address issues affecting female physicians and medical students, according to the release.
This year, two projects received the grants: one exploring effects of xenophobia faced by first-generation immigrant female Arab physicians in the United States' academic medical system, and the second studying interpersonal communication's contribution to mistreatment of hospital surgical residents.
