2nd Annual Medical Software Essay Scholarship

Here's why Claricode created this scholarship contest:

1. To help challenge the negative cycle of cutbacks in our current economy.
   We wanted to provide a positive example in this challenging time. It is easy to give back in good times, but it is needed most in times like these.



2. To address the shortage of people interested and thinking about healthcare IT and medical software.
   We wanted to get some students thinking about tne challenges and potential of the this industry. That will help as we start implementing electronic medical records due to the incentives in the ARRA (HITECH Act). We will need more talented people as we drastically increase the funds being spent on healthcare it / medical software.
