MyHeart Scholarship

To encourage the pursuit of knowledge in medicine, nursing, public health, nutrition, and exercise science, MyHeart is offering a new scholarship for the 2022-23 academic year. This scholarship features monetary awards for three students studying cardiovascular health in tertiary school and medical school totaling $5,000. We are specifically interested in providing scholarships to those with a passion for protecting America’s future generations from cardiovascular disease, although we will consider applications from students pursuing all areas of healthcare.

Who is MyHeart

MyHeart is a collaboration of well-respected physicians and internationally known scientists dedicated to educating the public about cardiovascular disease and general health and wellness.

  • Interested in the study of cardiovascular health or the pursuit of a career in the healthcare industry.
  • Pursuing an undergraduate, graduate, or medical degree (Two-year degrees are eligible.)  You must be accepted into your chosen program to claim the scholarship, but you can apply before acceptance.  If not yet accepted, list the school where you think you are most likely to attend in 2022.

POTS

The POTS Center educates patients and families of those diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). It is the definitive online resource for all things related to POTS.

MitraClip

One of the most advanced, hi-tech cardiology procedures, the MitraClip allows cardiologists to repair leaky mitral valves without open-heart surgery.

AFIB with RVR

In layman’s terms, afib with RVR simply means a fast heart rate. Sometimes however, the heart can literally beat out of control. Learn more about this fascinating – but deadly – medical phenomena..

NSTEMI

NSTEMI (Non ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) is a less severe type of heart attack. Our doctor-written guide to NSTEMI includes current guidelines for patients and professionals.

Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia

Learn about a relatively common form of tachycardia that causes the heart to beat faster than it normally should. This guide includes symptoms, causes, and methods of diagnosis for inappropriate sinus tachycardia.

Mitral Regurgitation

Mitral regurgitation, also called a “leaky heart valve”, is a relatively common condition affecting the aortic valve’s ability to open and close properly. Instead of traditional open heart surgery, minimally invasive procedures like TAVR can be used to fix mitral regurgitation.

Earlobe Crease & Heart Disease

Does having an earlobe crease predispose someone to having a heart disease? Could the fact George Bush has an earlobe crease be part of the reason he has so many heart problems?

Also known as pericardial effusion, this condition is a result of excess fluid filling around the heart. A cardiac tamponade is by far the worst form of this condition and can be lethal.

    I want to become an occupational therapist to specifically impact patients who have special needs. Throughout high school I have volunteered with special needs students, on Sundays, I sit with two teenage girls with down syndrome, we listen to a lecture and my task is to keep them focused and assist them in their participation of activities and discussion. These two lovely girls are why I want to become an occupational therapist, I want to improve students with special needs’ cognitive skills along with being someone they look up to.
    Sunday nights I meet with a special needs elementary school teacher, she often proclaims how much the occupational therapist at her school affects her students. The O.T. (occupational therapist) meets with the students once a day for 30 minutes, which doesn’t seem like much, but a teacher who works with these children for 8 hours a day says that without the O.T., the abilities of the special needs students would be much more limited.
    An undergraduate degree in kinesiology and a graduate degree in occupational therapy will streamline me to where I want to be by the age of 26, an occupational therapist. After a few years of working in a hospital or elementary school, I plan to open my own occupational therapy practice specifically for individuals with special needs. With my own practice, I will be able to reach a community who is often overlooked. I want to make a difference in people’s lives, even if my plan fails, I will strive to change others for the better through whatever means necessary.
    A major in kinesiology will give me a foundation on the functions of the human body and graduate school will prepare me for working with patients through classes and internship opportunities. After I receive a bachelor’s degree, I plan on attending graduate school to receive a master’s in Occupational therapy. I want to become an occupational therapist to specifically impact patients who have special needs. Throughout high school I have volunteered with special needs students, on Sundays, I sit with two teenage girls with down syndrome, we listen to a lecture and my task is to keep them focused and assist them in their participation of activities and discussion.

    Going into a healthcare field can be a little stressful but it’s also exciting. There are a lot of benefits to having a career in the healthcare industry, but if the benefits (like cost) are the only, or biggest, reason why you decide to take that path, it’s not worth it. For me personally, I want to be a physical therapist, specifically for sports, and the passion for it, is the biggest reason why I’m taking this career path. I know I will do good and be successful because I actually want to do this unlike others who are either forced, or are just going through the motions.

    I’ve always been a fan of sports since I was young. I did karate and martial arts training at the age of 8, started playing in recreational basketball leagues at the age of 10, began AAU at the age of 13, and played high school basketball. I just enjoy playing sports, watching sports, and reading about sports. I feel like I have gained abundant knowledge from this that will not only help me in my future career, but in life also.

    The first time that I decided I wanted to have a career in sports therapy/physical therapy, was in April, of 2017, when I broke my right wrist. After going to Patients First, getting rehab, and talking with other physical therapists at a therapy clinic, I gained a newfound passion. At first, I felt like I could use this for basketball, as I strive to be a collegiate basketball player. But shortly after, I decided that this career path was the one that would benefit me the most, and it felt right for me.

    I’ve already started researching about physical therapy programs at the top colleges and universities and I hope I find the best college for me, academically and athletically. I also know that being a physical therapist is in the Top Ten Happiest Jobs, according to Forbes. In the future, I hope to be really successful in my career, as I find joy in being beneficial to other people, like helping an athlete with a broken wrist!

    Every since I was four years old I’ve wanted to be a physical therapist. I have been researching and documenting physical therapy for six years. I am now currently enrolled in college to pursue my career. I have confidence I will be able to succeed in the career and help many people along the way. It makes me happy to help others in need. I use to be a volunteer at a hospital and help around with patients in need.
