TAMPA, FL, December 06, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Dr. Wendell Bulmer Scholarship for Future Physicians is now officially accepting applications from undergraduate students across the United States who are preparing for a future career in medicine. Founded by Dr. Wendell Bulmer, D.O., the scholarship reflects his longstanding commitment to supporting students dedicated to osteopathic principles and to the holistic approach to patient care.

The scholarship is designed for undergraduate students currently pursuing pre-medical or related science degrees at accredited colleges or universities. Through this initiative, Dr. Wendell Bulmer offers students the opportunity to reflect on their motivations for entering the medical profession, particularly through the lens of osteopathic philosophy. Applicants must submit an original essay in response to the required prompt exploring their personal connection to whole-person care and how this approach will guide their future practice.

Applications for the scholarship must be submitted by June 15, 2026. All essays must be the applicant's original work and must directly address the scholarship prompt:
"Osteopathic medicine emphasizes a whole-person approach to treatment. Describe a personal experience or core belief that has shaped your desire to become a physician who cares for the patient, not just the illness. How will this philosophy guide your future practice?"

The selected recipient will be announced on July 15, 2026 through the official website.

The Dr. Wendell Bulmer Scholarship for Future Physicians invites motivated undergraduate students nationwide to apply and take part in this opportunity to further their medical ambitions and contribute to a future grounded in compassionate, whole-person care.
