Medical Education Fund

We invite you to support the Medical Education Fund, which helps us to maintain our lead in quality education. If you're looking for a personal and generous way to say thank you to an influential faculty member who made a difference in your life, your gift to the Medical Education Fund helps our faculty to spend more time in the classroom by reducing their clinical obligations.

  • A gift of $10,000 will support a one-year fellowship for a faculty member in a department of your choice.
  • A gift of $1,000 can be given in honor of a faculty member.

The Medical Education Fund also provides support for the latest in educational technology, including new simulation technology to enhance student learning. This exciting technology provides "experiential learning" opportunities with electronic mannequins that look and respond like real patients. These simulated patients help prepare students to improve performance in the real world of health care.
