A Yale University graduate’s expertise in cardiology and work in medicine has inspired his former employer to establish a $1.7 million scholarship program in his memory, The Associated Press reports.
Dr. Donald Baim died at age 60 in 2009 from a rare form of adrenal gland cancer.
He’d had a 25-year career at Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Boston Scientific says the company is establishing the scholarship fund in honor of Baim, who was its chief medical and scientific officer. One first-year medical student each year will win the scholarship, which will cover half of the tuition for all four years.
