An endowed scholarship in honor of James R. Naibert, a retired family physician who practiced at The Corvallis Clinic’s Waverly Drive facility and the Immediate Care Center. His patients chose to recognize his efforts by establishing the scholarship for area students who demonstrate an interest in working in a health-related profession that involves direct patient care.
To be eligible, students must be a college sophomore or above in standing, and must have graduated from high school in Linn or Benton County, or must have been residing in Linn or Benton County for at least three years while working in a healthcare field with direct patient care. Applicants are available in May of each calendar year and due by Memorial Day.

“I just started my fourth and final year of pharmacy school, where I will rotate through eight different rotation sites to gain hands-on experience in the field. My first rotation is an ambulatory care pharmacy rotation at the Benton County Health Department, where we provide affordable healthcare services to underserved community members. This Winter, I plan to apply to postgraduate residency programs (following my post-graduate year 2 residency program). I also intend to work toward my board certification in ambulatory care pharmacy. Additionally, I would love to become board certified in diabetes management, as this is a particular area of interest of mine.”

“In the long-run, I hope to use my skills and knowledge as a pharmacist to address flaws in the heal care system and provide relief to underserved communities through my work and volunteerism… The wonderful thing about pharmacy is that I have the ability to build stronger and healthier communities by practicing cultural humility and motivational interviewing to produce better health outcomes for my patients. Additionally, I regularly volunteer at my local low-income clinic, Albany InReach Services, where I help care for the underserved population within the community.”
