Who is eligible to receive a self-defense kit?
The kits that we give away are intended for medical students, pre-med students, and nursing students. If you are studying some other clinical specialty, then we can probably include you too, depending on your circumstances and level of interest. From time to time, we may also award kits to individuals who are no longer students but who have just recently graduated from medical school. We also consider requests from undergraduate clubs and organizations for pre-meds. The overarching goal is to get kits into the hands of bright young individuals who have chosen to work in medicine or healthcare. If you are unsure whether you are eligible, just write and ask. We’re open to awarding kits in special circumstances, too (for instance, to hospital librarians or college professors who come into contact with med students).
