Thank you to all those who submitted their application to the Renata Elizabeth Withers Memorial Scholarship. While there were a number of applicants the selection committee was of the opinion that while we appreciate the effort of all applicants to apply, based on the criteria and the committee's expert judgement, only one scholarship would be awarded this year. The Foundation values the decision of the committee and recognizes scholarships will only be awarded based on the ...selection committee recommendations. We always encourage potential candidates to continue their interest and study in the area of eating disorders and apply again in future years. This years winner is Jennifer Mooney. Jennifer is a second year post graduate pediatric trainee at Memorial University. Over the past 6 years of medical school, she has developed and maintained a strong interest in the physiology, medical care and family dynamics of eating disorders. In September she will be applying for a 2-year pediatric medical sub speciality training program that specializes in eating disorders among youth. In addition to her clinical training Jennifer has attended a number of eating disorder conferences around the world including Understanding and Treating Binge Eating Disorders and The International Conference in Eating Disorders. She is actively involved in eating disorder research. At present she is completing research with Dr. Anna Dominic related to the transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare. She is focused on the educational needs of this population. Jennifer hopes to return to Newfoundland and Labrador and join Dr. Dominic team at the Janeway. Please join us in congratulating Jennifer.
