Medicine with a Difference Fund

The Medicine with a Difference Fund supports student awards and services, targeted health programs and innovative research, as well as capital projects that enable the Faculty of Medicine to actively promote Medicine with a Difference.

A gift to the Medicine with a Difference Fund directly impacts health care in Manitoba through:

  • The outstanding students we graduate;
  • The many communities we serve;
  • New medical discoveries, educational initiatives, and groundbreaking research;
  • State-of-the-art facilities; and
  • Simulation learning and health care innovations to continue to excel in the 21st Century.

The Faculty of Medicine continues to expand to address the need for more physicians and other health professionals in our Province to better serve our communities. The provincial government has requested an increase in undergraduate, postgraduate and special categories of medical education. This translates into a 60% increase in educational activities for the University of Manitoba Faculty of Medicine, the largest growth phase in several generations.

Your gift helps us to maintain the highest standards of medical education. Your support provides students with the latest educational technologies and state-of-the-art learning environments and research opportunities, and gives us the ability to recruit and retain top-calibre academic leaders.
