Mary T. Baldwin Scholarship
This scholarship was initiated in September 1999, as a memorial to Mary T. Baldwin, MRA, RN, a founding member of the AALNC, an expert in Rehabilitation Nursing and Life Care Planning. Through her leadership, both in San Diego and nationally, she exemplified a pioneering spirit and provided a dynamic influence in establishing the role of the legal nurse consultant in the medical and legal communities. The Mary T. Baldwin Scholarship will provide the financial assistance to AALNC-San Diego Chapter members to attend educational programs relevant to legal nurse consulting. The recipient(s) of this scholarship, like Mary, will demonstrate their extraordinary commitment to the specialty of Legal Nurse Consulting and their effective efforts to improve the image and visibility of legal nurse consultants.
