The Kelsie Gleason Creative Passion Memorial Scholarship
Kelsie Gleason, a Choctaw medical student at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, was known not only for her dedication to medicine and health care, but for many other passions. Kelsie spent much of her spare time working with horses and volunteered at a local therapeutic horse riding center. She majored in Hispanic Studies and used her language proficiency to help other medical students learn medical Spanish. In addition to being a dedicated member of the U.S. Air Force reserves, Kelsie was also an enthusiastic athlete who participated in many obstacle courses and marathons during running season and avidly enjoyed skiing in the winter months. Although Kelsie is no longer with us, ANAMS is proud to honor her creative passion in life by awarding this scholarship in her name.
