Local physician presents AMA scholarships to MUSC students

June 9, 2015

Local physician Dr. Gerald Harmon, who serves on the national board of trustees of the American Medical Association and is the board liaison to the AMA minority affairs section, recently presented three MUSC students with minority scholar awards from the AMA.

The students are Bethany Carlos, Kendrick Kennedy and Denise Kimbrough. 

Dr. Harmon is a family physician with Tidelands Waccamaw Family Medicine and vice president of Tidelands Health Group.

The awards recognize scholastic achievement, financial need and commitment to improving minority health among first or second-year students in historically underrepresented groups in the medical profession.
