Austin, TX — TMLT is proud to announce the recipients of the 2010 TMLT Memorial Scholarships.

Robert G. McAtee is a second-year student at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston;
Scott McIntyre is a fourth-year student at Baylor College of Medicine; and

Launched in 2005, the program awards $40,000 in scholarships annually to Texas medical students who are interested in finding creative ways to enhance patient safety. Scholarship recipients are chosen based on each student's financial need and written essay.
