This Fund was established by alumni and friends of the School of Medicine to help maintain the excellence and intimacy of the learning environment in the School of Medicine, attract the best students and faculty, and build on current educational programs.
The fund provides annual discretionary funding for the Dean to invest in emerging academic opportunities and support student-focused priorities in the School of Medicine. Since inception, the fund has been used to support a variety of initiatives including seed funding to establish the Medical Student Research Fund, support for students participating in medical student summer studentships, and multi-year investments in equipment and curriculum in the Clinical Simulation Centre (CSC).
