More than ever, our growing communities need talented, compassionate physicians. The cost of a medical education should never stand in the way of a student’s potential. This annual scholarship pool helps students who will lead with innovation, empathy, and patient-centered care. Your support eases their financial burden, dollar for dollar.

Every medical student completes a Scholarly Pursuit and Thesis (SPT) research project, integrated across all four years of study, and some students also participate in additional research opportunities. Through these experiences, students gain a robust skill set in evidence-based approaches to both basic and clinical research—an essential advantage when applying for competitive residency programs. This fund supports research-related expenses and enables students to present their findings at national conferences, where they collaborate, network, and grow as physician-scholars.

This comprehensive program supports student well-being across every stage of medical school—preparing future physicians for the demands of residency and the realities of patient care. From mental health resources and academic coaching to service learning and social connection, wellness initiatives are shaped by student feedback to ensure they meet real needs. Your gift helps sustain and expand these vital supports, creating a healthier, more resilient learning environment.

This fund provides one-time financial support to medical students facing unexpected, critical expenses that threaten their ability to continue their education. With the intense demands of medical school and limited capacity to work, students often lack resources to manage emergencies. This fund helps bridge that gap, ensuring students can stay focused on their training.

The power of flexible funding allows the Dean to direct funds where and when they are most needed: to support an innovative idea, seize an emerging opportunity or secure new tools for student programs. Even a small addition can spark meaningful change and elevate the learning experience.

Simulation-based training is the gold standard in clinical education, connecting classroom knowledge with real-world experience. This fund supports the cutting-edge tools, models, and technology that power our innovative curriculum—ensuring students train in a dynamic, hands-on environment that prepares them for excellence in patient care.
