IMR has provided support for practitioners in resource-poor regions  pursuing a formal education in healthcare through the Eddy Rose Excelente Fund. The fund was created in honor of Nicaraguan Ob/Gyn Dr. Eddy Rose, a great doctor and friend that our Executive Director Ambereen had known since 2001. In his spirit of caring and kindness, we established the Eddy Rose Excelente Fund (Fondo Excelente) that provides scholarship to help pay the grantee’s tuition in their program of choice.  We currently support two individuals pursuing their education in medicine and nursing in Nicaragua and Haiti. We have also recently announced a new scholarship for a Black student midwife in the United States.
