On Tuesday October 16, 2010 Dessa Schroeder and Howard Wong of California Professional Insurance Services presented to Yo San University DAOM Program Director, Dr. Carola Gehrke, a check for $5000 to be used to support scholarships for students in the Yo San University Doctoral Program. "Cal Pro" as the company is known, is a provider of malpractice insurance for a wide range of health care professionals.
The gift to Yo San, the first of its kind from the Tustin, California based company, was arranged through the company’s subscriber charitable foundation, the Alliance of Healthcare Professionals. Dessa Schroeder explained that the organization "specifically wanted to support the efforts of doctoral level students who have made a special commitment to engage advanced studies to bring them to the highest level of the profession."
The scholarship award check was accepted with great gratitude by YSU President Dr. Larry Ryan, and Dr. Gehrke, who has worked out the application and award criteria for the competitive scholarship awards.
The recipients of the scholarship awards are expected to be announced before the end of December 2010. Both Dr. Ryan and Dr. Gehrke commented on the extraordinary sacrifices in time, income and weekend relaxation that our DAOM candidates make to participate in the YSU doctoral program which is based on an intensive long weekend residency session every month for two years. The opportunity to be considered for this generous scholarship award will be greatly appreciated by all.
