Drs. Sydney and Constance FRIEDMAN Travel Award

Award descriptionTwo travel awards totalling $12,550 have been made available through an endowment established by Drs. Sydney and Constance Friedman to graduating MD students with high academic standing who plan to travel outside British Columbia within the first year after graduation. Applicants should submit a short outline (500 word or less) of their travel plans. Unusual requests need not be excluded. The purpose of this award is for the applicant to have the opportunity to see and experience the culture of another area of the world. It is hoped that by having this experience, the applicant will have a better bedside manner and the ability to have a more global perspective of their patients. This award is made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Medicine.
