College of Medicine hosts inaugural scholarship luncheon
UC Health Diversity Scholarship recipient Sarah Appeadu with UC Health president and CEO Richard Lofgren.
The College of Medicine hosted its inaugural College of Medicine Scholarship Luncheon on December 6, 2019 inspired by the generosity of our donors and benefactors who graciously give each year to support the students who are becoming the medical leaders of tomorrow.
Without the philanthropic spirit of our donors, the College of Medicine couldn’t recruit and accept top-of-the-line future medical professionals. So our hope is that the event continues to provide the opportunity to recognize their amazing generosity while enabling our benefactors to meet those who are directly benefiting from their investment.
Looking ahead, we recognize the challenges inherent in meeting student needs while also attracting the best, brightest and most diverse students. We’re excited to meet this challenge head-on, knowing we do so with our vast family of alumni and friends who support student scholarships.

Women consistently experience more pain than men across 11 body parts
October 12, 2026
A large global study spanning 118 countries, published in Nature Medicine, has found that women consistently report more pain than men across 11 bodily sites, including the back, head, face, knees, chest, abdomen and hips. The study also found that, across sexes, the sharpest increases in self-reported pain tend to occur before age 55. These findings may inform a new approach to chronic pain prevention and management throughout the lifespan. Shuchita Garg, MD, an associate professor of clinical medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Division of Chronic Pain, within the Department of Anesthesia, and the medical director of the UC Medical Center Pain Clinic, who was not involved in this study, commented on the findings for Medical News Today (MNT).
