A new memorial bursary is set to make a lasting impact for future generations of medical students at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s. The Dr. Pamela Frid, MD카지노 게임 컬렉션™82, Memorial Bursary will support incoming medical students in financial need, with preference for those who identify as women.  

Created through a $1-million endowed gift from the estate of the late Dr. Pamela Frid, this legacy donation reflects her deep commitment to increasing access to medical education and honours her lifelong connection to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s.

The bursary also directly supports Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s commitment to removing financial barriers, supporting student success, and advancing gender equity in health-care leadership. More specifically, it complements the MD program카지노 게임 컬렉션™s , which aims to reduce systemic barriers for entry and diversify the student body.

Dr. Frid카지노 게임 컬렉션™s sisters, Beverly Frid-Burrows, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션™84, and Sandra Frid, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션™83, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션™85, Ed카지노 게임 컬렉션™86, who helped carry out their sister카지노 게임 컬렉션™s wishes, say the bursary reflects what she cared about: fairness, education, and the next generation of physicians.  

카지노 게임 컬렉션œWe knew Pam wanted to give back to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s and we knew how much she cared about medical school affordability 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ especially for women,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Frid-Burrows. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œSo, we knew this was the right way to honour her.카지노 게임 컬렉션  

Dr. Frid was a pioneer in developmental pediatrics, helping to establish the field as a recognized specialty with its own curriculum and its own qualification exam.  

A proud alumna of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s School of Medicine, Dr. Frid was always so grateful that the school accepted her as a 20-year-old young woman and gave her the opportunity to fulfill her dream of becoming a pediatrician, says Frid-Burrows.  

Dr. Frid also had a rich and lifelong relationship with the university that extended well beyond the classroom. As a student, she was deeply involved in Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Bands 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ an experience her family says was a deep passion and joy during her years in Kingston.  

Dr. Frid카지노 게임 컬렉션™s connection to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s stretched across generations. Grey House, for instance, was built in 1899 by her great-great-grandfather, James Maxwell, who also built many of the brick homes that now house Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s students. Her grandfather, Pat Houston, BASc카지노 게임 컬렉션™30, was the first in the family to attend Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s. Several members of the family followed in his footsteps.  

카지노 게임 컬렉션œPam always knew she was going to go to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s,카지노 게임 컬렉션 recalls sister Sandra Frid. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œShe fell in love with it as a child, going to football games with our grandfather, so this gift will be such an important part of the legacy she leaves behind.카지노 게임 컬렉션  

The bursary will provide up to four years of renewable support to students, giving recipients the financial stability to focus fully on their studies.

카지노 게임 컬렉션œThe Dr. Pamela Frid, MD카지노 게임 컬렉션™82, Memorial Bursary represents the kind of meaningful support that truly changes lives,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Stephen Vanner, Interim Dean, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Health Sciences. 카지노 게임 컬렉션œWe are deeply grateful to the Frid family for ensuring that Dr. Frid카지노 게임 컬렉션™s legacy lives on through the success of students who might not otherwise have had the opportunity to pursue medicine.카지노 게임 컬렉션
