Award descriptionAwards totalling $450,000 have been made available through an endowment established by Drs. Constance Livingstone-Friedman and Sydney Friedman for graduate students in the field of health or UBC medical resident trainees. The awards are to be used to pursue scholarly activities outside of Western Canada, with recipients selected on the basis of the nature and quality of the learning opportunity and the potential impact in the field of health.

Their contributions to both medical education and research were foundational to the early development of the medical school at UBC. The awards are granted on the recommendation of the Faculty of Medicine, in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Recipients of this award will be recognized as "Friedman Scholars".
