This scholarship was founded by Katie and David McCoy in 2023 in memory of Dr. Judith P. Osha. Dr Osha was a celebrated pediatrician and great supporter of our wilderness medical classes for kids. She loved to be a patient with the kids, would help quiz her daughter (JenOsha!) to prep for teaching, and also would buy lunch for all of the participants because she said studying medicine was hard enough without being hungry!  Judy graduated from Georgetown Medical School where she completed her training as a pediatrician. As a pioneer for women in medicine she was an inspiration for future generations of women scientists including several of her grandchildren. Her distinguished medical career earned her many accolades, including recognition as Georgetown University's Pediatrician of the Year. She was beloved by her patients, some of whom returned to her practice many years later with their own children in tow. <a href="https://www.mcculla.com/obituaries/Judith-Paul-Osha?obId=31164256" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit" target="_blank">Read more about her here.</a> We were able to use our fund initially to directly support Wilderness First Aid and CPR classes for our youth, including cost of books and certification cards. We hope now to be able to expand our funding to allow for this educational opportunity to be extended no matter the financial status of the family. Our students have gone on from our training to become Emts and paramedics, nurses and even one in medical school! If we can grow this fund, it is our desire to help support our youth as they continue in their careers in the medical field. We deeply appreciate your help, you are what makes these programs possible. 100% of this fund is used for scholarships. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1747082822/wysiwyg/z4kgemjrhotzgnjprlos.jpg" style="width:463px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" />Dr Osha was beloved by her patients.
