The Ballantine Award
for Medical Student
Work in the Arts
This award was established in 1997 in memory of Thomas V. N.
Ballantine, M.D. During his tenure at the Pennsylvania State University College
of Medicine, he was not only an accomplished pediatric surgeon, but also an
ardent supporter of the arts and humanities. He was a beloved faculty member who
enthusiastically gave his time and energy to the pursuit of medical student
education.
This award will be given annually in the form of a grant to
support medical student work in the arts. This work need not be related to or
address the fields of medicine or science, and it may encompass any of the areas
of visual arts, performance, or literary composition. Grants will be awarded to
cover the costs of materials and professional services incurred in the
production of selected projects. In 2004 a maximum of $1,000.00 will be awarded.
All projects must have a public component, and priority will
be given to those with relevance to or impact upon The Hershey Medical Center (HMC)
community. Presentation of these projects should include a statement that this
work was underwritten, in part, by The Ballantine Award.
Applications will be judged by The Doctors Kienle Center for Humanistic
Medicine (DKCFHM) which reserves the right to make no awards if no suitable
applications are received. Reimbursement will be made upon the submission of
receipts for an amount equal to or less than that of the award. Upon completion
of their project, award recipients will be required to make a presentation of
their work to the DKCFHM.
