About the Louise W. Rauh, MD Scholarship Award
Louise W. Rauh was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in 1928. Rauh practiced pediatrics for over 50 years and made very important, pioneering contributions to the delivery of pediatric care in the Cincinnati area. She also spent 48 years teaching at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine where she was an inspiration to countless medical students, residents & health professionals. Rauh died in 1991 at the age of 88.
In 1990, the Women’s Faculty Association of the Department of Pediatrics established a scholarship in her honor, which is awarded annually to a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati. The Louise Rauh Scholarship is awarded based on excellence in academic performance, leadership skills, community service, research, and financial need.
As a member of the 2019 class of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine (UCCOM), Ms. Gordon has demonstrated outstanding academic performance, and her clinical evaluations described her as a student with whom “all staff were impressed and truly wish to see her in our workplace for many years to come!”
