Support Medical Students

Your support will create more learning pathways and opportunities, positioning future physicians to thrive as they begin their journey at the school.

With your investment, you help students overcome the financial barriers that might otherwise prevent them from pursuing medical education. You also give them access to an innovative three-year curriculum model focused on community-centred care that is socially accountable and culturally safe. Through coursework and clinical training emphasizing team-based care, communication, critical thinking and technological proficiency, these students will develop the skills and knowledge needed to become highly competent and ethical physicians.

Forty-eight students are anticipated to be in the inaugural class, growing to approximately 120 students over the next decade.

Your contribution will help these leaders excel in rewarding and sustainable medical careers that contribute to the health and well-being of diverse peoples and communities across B.C.

Whether you create an endowment, provide annual support or plan a future commitment, you can empower the next generation of family physicians who will help in improving the quality of human health in B.C.
