Announcing the winners of the 2023 Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest

The Arnold P. Gold Foundation is pleased to announce the six winning essays of the  2023 Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest : the top three by medical students and the top three by nursing students.

First place is awarded to Federico Erhart of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Courtney Polimeni of Washington State University College of Nursing.

Second place is awarded to Riley Plett of the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine and Leah Rothchild of the MGH Institute of Health Professions School of Nursing, and third place goes to Emily Otiso of Wayne State University School of Medicine and Nicole Diddi of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas School of Nursing.

This year’s winning essays tell stories about the power of human connection. They bring the reader into clinics, hospital rooms, and ERs, revealing delicate exchanges between caregivers and patients. They explore how kindness can transcend our differences, and how the smallest of gestures can mean everything in a difficult moment.

“This year’s winning essays are beautiful reflections on our shared humanity,” said Elizabeth Cleek, PsyD, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Gold Foundation. “I am deeply impressed by the winners, not only for their talent on the page, but as clinicians in training who exemplify heart and compassion.”

The winning essays are chosen by an expert panel that includes healthcare professionals, writers/journalists, and educators. More than 530 entries were submitted this year from students at over 90 nursing schools and over 110 medical schools. 2023 marks the sixth year that the contest has included nursing students.

The Gold Foundation has been continuously expanding its programs from its U.S. roots to a global reach, and it is noteworthy that — for the first time — a Canadian student was among the essay winners this year.

The winning essays will be published in two esteemed journals,  Academic Medicine,  in the October, November, and December issues, and  Journal of Professional Nursing , in the September/October, November/December, and January/February issues.  Academic Medicine   is published by the  Association of American Medical Colleges,  and  Journal of Professional Nursing   is published by the   American Association of Colleges of Nursing . Both organizations are key supporters of the annual essay contest and partners of the Gold Foundation.

The essay contest is named for Hope Babette Tang-Goodwin, MD, an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, whose devotion and generosity to the care of the children and infants with HIV infection in New York City was an inspiration to her colleagues and her students. Her approach to medicine combined a seemingly limitless enthusiasm for her work, intellectual rigor, and deep compassion for her patients.

The Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest prompts medical and nursing students to engage in a reflective writing exercise that illustrates an experience in which they or a team member worked to ensure humanistic care.

This year, students were prompted to share stories inspired by a quote from U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón in her poem “How Far Away We Are”:

“I want to give you something, or I want to take something from you. But I want to feel the exchange, the warm hand on the shoulder, the song coming out and the ear holding onto it.”

Ada Limón is the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States. She is the author of six books of poetry, including The Carrying , which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, and was the second host of the critically acclaimed poetry podcast The Slowdown . When announcing her appointment as Poet Laureate in 2022, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden noted that Ms. Limón’s poems “speak of intimate truths, of the beauty and heartbreak that is living, in ways that help us move forward.”

The Gold Foundation congratulates all of this year’s winners and honorable mentions:

Year 12 essay competitions for medicine (updated 2022), essay competitions you can enter to make your medicine application stand out..

emergency medicine essay competition

Why should I enter an essay competition?

One unique way of making your medicine application stand out is by entering various essay competitions that are relevant to science, technology, or healthcare.

By entering (and winning) essay competitions, medical schools will see that:

  • You take an interest in medicine and education beyond what you're taught in your curriculum
  • You're very proactive and dedicated
  • You have excellent time management skills as you can juggle this with other academic commitments
  • You're interested in writing and research

You don't need to win the competition for this to look good in your application. The fact that you've gone through all the effort to apply is fantastic in itself. It's something you can write about in your personal statement and bring up in your interviews. It's also something your teachers can write on your UCAS reference too.

It's important to remember there are many other important skills admission tutors andinterviewers will be looking for during your application. Our Medmentor SuperPack is tailor-made to help track your progress and plug any gaps to ensure you're the holistic candidate that every medical school is looking for.

Essay competitions for Year 12 students applying to medicine

Throughout the year, there are different essay competitions open for sixth form students to enter. We've compiled a list of some of the ones that are most relevant for your medicine application. Some of the deadlines are soon, whilst others are in a few months, so be selective and make sure you're giving yourself enough time to write something that is of a high standard.

emergency medicine essay competition

The words that are arguably most relevant to medicine, science, and healthcare include 'sustainability', 'memory', and 'senses', though you can definitely make links with any of the words. For example, somebody could choose to write an essay on "Why is sustainability important in healthcare?" or "How has the pandemic impacted healthcare sustainability ?"

For these types of essays, think boldly and be unique if you want your essay to stand out.

Essay competitions for Year 12 students that will open later this year

Various other competitions will open up throughout the year. Keep tabs on these two pages below as their competitions will open up later this year.

  • Robinson College Essay Prize (University of Cambridge) - https://www.robinson.cam.ac.uk/prospective-students/essay-prize
  • University of Oxford Sixth-form prize in Medicine - https://www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/research/research-groups/oxford-trauma/university-of-oxford-sixth-form-prize-in-medicine

How important are essay competitions for Year 12 students? 

We would only recommend going out of your way to participate in essay competitions if you're quite comfortable with your academic grade. To write a good essay, you'll need to do extra reading and research in the topic area, and this can take some time. If your time is better spent revising and securing your grades, then please prioritise this. Essays are just another way to help your medicine application stand out, but they are by no means essential.

If you do have the time for it and you're not compromising your other commitments, then you've got nothing to lose - so give it your best shot!

Can I do anything else besides enter an essay competition? 

If you're not quite ready to commit to an essay, you can also consider submitting articles to particular magazines or news outlets. If you're lucky, your piece may feature on their magazine, and this is sure to impress medical schools.

These don't have to be related to medicine or healthcare, it can be about your life as a student and any challenges you're experiencing. Even though it may not directly relate to medicine, it's certainly impressive and will show the medical school that you're not afraid to put yourself out there. For example:

  • Consider writing for the Llama magazine: https://www.llamamag.com/about-the-llama/
  • Push yourself further and submit a pitch to the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/education/mortarboard/2013/sep/23/blogging-students-how-to-pitch-and-blog

The Maurice Ellis Award recognises his pioneering work in the field of Emergency Medicine. It may be awarded every two years and presented at an appropriate event in the Royal College of Emergency Medicine calendar.

An award will next be made in 2018. Please read the  nomination criteria  for more information

This award by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) recognises the inspiring work of one of the specialty’s ‘founding fathers’, William Rutherford. William Rutherford was a pioneer of the specialty of Emergency Medicine but his dedication to service also took him to work as a doctor in rural India for 20 years. It was after his return from there, in 1967, that he became surgeon in charge of the Accident & Emergency Department of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, where he worked until his retirement in 1985.

William died in December 2007 when he was in his 80s. The RCEM decided to establish an award to commemorate his life and his work, particularly recognising his work in troubled times and in areas of deprivation.

The William Rutherford International Award is made annually to an individual that has demonstrated evidence of excellence in emergency care or humanitarian activities within low- and/ or middle-income countries or settings.

The award will consist of an invitation to the recipient, as well as a collaborator of the recipients, from a low- and/ or middle-income country or setting, to co-present their work at a national RCEM conference. The Global Emergency Medicine (GEM) Committee has the responsibility for proposing the recipient to Council and liaising with the recipient.

The recipient will choose the collaborator and present her/ his details to the GEM committee for approval. The recipient and collaborator would be provided with a budget from which conference registration, accommodation and travel costs to the UK can be reimbursed.

Nominations are now open for the 2022 award and will close at 5pm on 17 June 2023 .

Download the William Rutherford International Award nomination form .

Criteria for this award:

The recipient should demonstrate evidence of excellence in any of the following activities within low- and/ or middle-income countries or settings:

  • Establishing of, contributing to, leading, and/ or supporting of existing or new emergency care or humanitarian programmes,  services and/ or systems ;
  • building of, contributing to, and/ or supporting of emergency care or humanitarian  capacity ;
  • and/ or establishing of, contributing to, leading and/ or supporting of  educational and/ or training activities in emergency care or humanitarian settings
  • The recipient should not have already received a similar award from another organisation, unless it is felt by the proposer that by receiving this award it would help to publicise and further expand or improve the humanitarian work of the recipient.

Potential candidates can be nominated by Fellows or Members of the RCEM. The nominee must also be a Fellow or Member of the RCEM.

Research Awards and competitions

Fellowships

Professorships

From March 2023, National Clinical Impact Awards (NCIA) scheme applications will no longer include rankings and citations from national nominating organisations.  Applicants will now be able to seek guidance from any number of relevant membership organisations (MOs) they wish to approach.

The national Clinical Impact Awards scheme (previously known as the national Clinical Excellence Awards) has been reformed in order to broaden access to the scheme, make the application process fairer and more inclusive, and ensure the scheme rewards and incentivises excellence across a broader range of activity and behaviours. The new scheme is fairer and has a more inclusive application process designed to fully reflect the diversity of the consultant population in the NHS. Further information on the reforms can be found in the joint  DHSC and Welsh Government consultation response .

University of Oxford Sixth-form prize in Medicine

This is an annual competition for Year 12 (Lower 6th) students who are considering applying to study medicine. The competition is open to all students currently studying at a state-funded school, college or sixth-form.

The Essay Prize aims to raise awareness of the interesting and multifaceted subject of medicine related to traumatic-injury. It is hoped that the Prize will encourage students with an interest in medicine to explore this further and to apply for a University course in this subject. In addition, the Prize aims to recognise the achievements of high-calibre students, as well as the achievements of those who teach them.

The competition carries a First Prize of a 7 day work-experience placement within the Major Trauma Centre, Oxford. In addition, up to three further essays of a high quality will be commended.

Medicine Essay Prizes (7 Competitions For Year 12 and 13’s)

Photo of author

Every article is fact-checked by a medical professional. However, inaccuracies may still persist.

Having a medical essay prize on your CV looks absolutely fantastic when it comes time for you to apply to medical school.

In such an overcrowded marketplace, anything that sets you apart from the crowd in a positive manner is sure to drastically increase your chances of getting an offer.

Although when I was applying to medical school I hadn’t managed to win an essay competition (despite my best efforts!) hopefully you’ll have more luck than me!

To save you some research time, I’ve compiled a list of 7 medicine essay competitions that you can enter this year.

Competitions that if you win will skyrocket your chances of application success.

INCLUDED IN THIS GUIDE:

The Libra Essay Prize

The Libra essay prize is an annual essay prize for all students in years 12 and 13 looking to prepare for university.

Libra Education themselves describe it as:

“An excellent way for 6th-form students to demonstrate that they have the makings of a scholar, the Libra Essay Prize offers a chance to prepare for the academic rigour required by university assignments and provides a great accomplishment to discuss on a personal statement or at an interview.”

Students are free to choose any subject from a list of categories (one of which being science) and then have to write an essay with a title containing a chosen word.

The small pool of words you can choose from change each year but are all generally quite abstract so you can connect and use them in creative ways.

The essay has to be between 1,500 – 2,000 words, with Harvard style referencing which isn’t included in the word count.

Libra accept entries from all over the world, but the essays must be written in English.

First prize wins £50, second prize £30, and third £20, all paid out in book vouchers. There’s also Commended and Highly Commended entries for each category.

Minds Underground Essay Competition

Minds Underground is an online learning platform, designed to support and enhance the learning and problem-solving of determined young students.

Every year they run a medicine essay competition, primarily aimed at year 12’s (although they do say younger or older students are also welcome to apply).

To enter, you have a choice of three questions, to which you need to write a 1,000 – 1,500 word answer.

“Should all healthcare be free? Discuss.” “What goes wrong for cancers to develop?” “Tell us about a key development/invention that you think has been most influential to medicine.” – Past Minds Underground medicine essay questions

If you’re feeling ambitious, students are permitted to enter an essay for more than one subject- so you could have a crack at the psychology or science one too!

Helpfully, under each question Minds also give you a few pointers to get your creative juices flowing.

Newnham Essay Prizes

Newnham College of the University of Cambridge runs a medicine essay competition with a twist:

Only female students are allowed to enter.

Again, students have a choice of three differing questions.

For example, the questions in the 2021-22 competition were:

  • How realistic is it to develop a small molecule therapy for Covid-19? Could such a therapy be rolled out in a timeframe that it could have an impact on the current pandemic?
  • Sleep deprivation in clinical health settings. Does it matter?
  • Looking to the future. Will stem cell therapies be outpaced by machine-brain interfaces for the treatment of retinal disease?

Newnham do give you a bit more of a range when it comes to the word count, accepting anything from 1,500 to 2,500 words.

There’s a generous £400 prize for first place, £200 for second and £100 for third.

Unfortunately for you as an individual though, prize money is split 50:50 between the essay prize winner and the funding of resources for their school…

John Locke Institute Essay Competition

“The John Locke Institute encourages young people to cultivate the characteristics that turn good students into great writers: independent thought, depth of knowledge, clear reasoning, critical analysis and persuasive style. “

The John Locke Institute arguably gives away the most generous prize out of any competition on this list.

You get a scholarship worth $2,000 towards the cost of attending any John Locke Institute program, as well as an invitation to their prize-giving ceremony in Oxford.

The essay questions for each subject are published in January, with the deadline for submission generally being in late June.

As well as the opportunity to secure the prize for medicine, the candidate who submits the best essay overall will be awarded an honorary John Locke Institute Junior Fellowship- which comes with a $10,000 scholarship to attend one or more of their courses!

American Society Of Human Genetics Essay Contest

Although this next essay competition comes from America, it’s open to students worldwide.

The American Society Of Human Genetics supports national DNA day through its annual DNA day essay contest: commemorating the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003 and the discovery of the double helix of DNA in 1953.

The contest is open to students in grades 9-12 worldwide and asks students to “examine, question, and reflect on important concepts in genetics.”

With a limit of only 750 words, not including reference lists, this is a short but sweet chance to bag yourself a considerable cash prize for your efforts.

In addition to the personal prize money, the ASHG will also provide you with a $1,000 grant towards genetics research or teaching materials.

Although it is a worldwide contest, so undoubtedly will have plenty of entries, there are also 10 honorable mentions up for grabs (in addition to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place) that all come with a $100 prize too.

Immerse Education Essay Competition

Immerse Education run summer programs for over 20 different subjects in Oxford, Cambridge, London and Sydney.

The reason why students get so much value from these courses is because they’re immersed in centers of academic excellence whilst learning from experts in their chosen field.

The good news for you is that their essay competition gives you the chance to attend one of their summer school programs for free.

10 winners receive a 100% scholarship and runners up are awarded partial scholarships of up to 50% to study their chosen subject.

According to Immerse, around 7% of entrants receive scholarship funding to attend a program- which is pretty good odds if you ask me!

“There is no downside to entering the competition. If you win, it is awesome. If you don’t win, you gained an experience. Entering the competition and working as hard as I did for it was one of the most gratifying experiences.” – Pedro L (100% scholarship winner)

You can find the full list of essay questions, in addition to top tips for writing academic essays (as well as the terms and conditions for the competition), simply by signing up via Immerse’s website.

The RCSU Science Challenge

The Royal College of Science Union (RCSU) is a student union at Imperial College London and run an annual science challenge open to both home and international school students.

The focus of the challenge is communicating scientific concepts in a non-technical manner, so that people without a science background could still understand and enjoy the content.

The big twist with this essay competition is that you don’t actually have to enter an essay!

The idea is to produce a ‘short piece of science communication’ which can be an essay or can be a short video in answer to one of the four questions set by the judges.

Written entries must be less than 1,000 words, whilst video entries must be less than 3 minutes and 30 seconds long.

For this competition, it’s really all about short and snappy responses that will captivate the reader whilst answering the question in a precise but easy to understand manner.

We hope to inspire those who take part in the Science Challenge to explore, develop and use their scientific skills along with their passion for their corner of science to help others see what all the excitement is about.

Why You Should Enter Medicine Essay Competitions

I think it’s fair to say that competition to get into medical school in the UK is insanely high- and it’s only getting worse.

With such large numbers of incredibly qualified candidates, medical schools have to find some way of differentiating them.

One way to make it easy for a university to pick you is to stand out from the crowd by having a medical essay prize on your application.

An essay prize demonstrates your dedication to the subject, scientific knowledge and an ability to write expressively and persuasively- all ideal qualities when it comes to being a doctor.

You may surprise yourself.

Often, not as many people as you might think enter these competitions.

emergency medicine essay competition

Simply by writing the essay, you’re also going to greatly increase your knowledge about that particular topic, which can still come in really handy at interview.

Even if you don’t win, just discussing the fact you entered still looks good in the eyes of an interviewer.

It shows that you’re willing to go above and beyond your school curriculum, to explore subjects you’re interested in and that you’re a highly motivated candidate.

How To Increase Your Chances Of Winning An Essay Prize

Although when I was applying to medical school I didn’t manage to win an essay prize, there are a couple of things I did that would have greatly increased my chances of doing so.

First and foremost, I think you’ve got to cast your net wide.

Don’t limit yourself to just one shot at the target: if you’ve got the time then I’d recommend trying to enter at least a couple of different competitions.

More entries will mean more chances for you to have your essay officially recognised.

Secondly, if you have the choice between entering a local or national competition, I’d always go with the local one.

Although a national prize would look slightly better on your CV, simply due to the number of entries, you’ll have a much higher chance of winning the more local competition.

By local I mean this could be a more regional charity, nearby hospital or university, or even your school.

Even better yet, you could always enter both!

Lastly, I think one of the best ways you can increase your odds of winning a prize is by entering a competition around a topic that you’re genuinely passionate about.

If you’ve no interest in genetics, then I wouldn’t enter the American Society Of Human Genetics’ contest!

Your interest in the subject will come through in your language, depth of knowledge and motivation to go above and beyond for your essay- all of which will put you in a much better position for winning.

Where You Can Find Further Essay Competitions

In addition to the essay prizes described above, there are tonnes of other opportunities available for you to distinguish yourself as a medicine applicant.

Loads of the Royal Colleges run an ever changing variety of prizes and competitions, usually to encourage interest in their specialty.

The opening dates and deadlines for these prizes are always changing so it’s worth keeping an eye out for the perfect essay question or new prize that’s just been announced.

Some of these organisations that run their own competitions include:

  • The Royal Society of Medicine
  • Royal College of Emergency Medicine
  • British Orthopaedic Association
  • British Society for Haematology
  • Royal College of Pathologists
  • Royal College of Psychiatrists
  • British Association of Dermatologists

But there are many more out there. If you have a particular interest in one specialty or area of science then I’d definitely recommend doing a bit of digging to see if there’s a society or organisation related to that field that runs their own competitions!

Final Thoughts

There really aren’t many downsides to entering one of these competitions.

You get a shot at winning, gain a talking point at interview and develop your scientific knowledge (not to mention technical writing skills).

Although you might feel that some of the smaller prizes aren’t worth your time and effort to write the essay, the real value comes from the boost one of these prizes would give your medicine application.

The Largest Exercises of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on Disaster Management in the Moscow Region

On June 8, within the framework of the Salon, a large-scale demonstration exercise was held at the site of the Noginsk rescue center of the EMERCOM of Russia.

By tradition, the Salon gathered on its sites representatives of government bodies, leading industrial enterprises, representatives of industry associations and unions. More than 500 exhibits from 15 countries took part in the exhibition.

Within the framework of the Salon, the first International Fire and Rescue Congress was held, timed to coincide with the 370th anniversary of the fire brigade of Russia, which is celebrated this year. That is why one of the main themes of the Salon was the increase in the level of protection of the population and objects from fires, the development of new technical means and equipment, the improvement of scientific and technical policies in the area of fire safety.

In addition, the XXIII International Scientific and Practical Conference on the problems of protecting the population and territories from emergency situations was held. A meeting was also held with the heads of federal executive bodies and executive bodies of the subjects of the Russian Federation on the issues of civil defense and population protection. On the basis of the Noginsk rescue center EMERCOM of Russia (Moscow region, Noginsk), a comprehensive demonstration exercise was held with the participation of more than 1,000 people and involving about 200 units of equipment, in which the actions of formations of various departments using advanced technical means and equipment were shown in real conditions.

Together with Russian rescue workers, their colleagues from 12 foreign countries also demonstrated their professional skills. Aircraft EMERCOM of Russia were actively used during the exercise. Mi-8 helicopters delivered rescuers to the emergency area. Light helicopters Bo-105 and BK-117 evacuated the victims. The Be-200ES amphibious aircraft and the Il-76 heavy transport aircraft extinguished fires. The demonstration exercises lasted for more than two hours, all the fire-fighting equipment of the Emercom of Russia, unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as helicopters and aircraft of the Emergencies Ministry were presented. In total, more than 1 thousand people and about 200 units of special equipment took part in the exercises.
