Landmark Gift Supports the Future of Medicine
I am pleased to announce a landmark $2 million gift by the Raymond Chang Foundation to establish the G. Raymond Chang Forensic Pathology Fellow at the Faculty of Medicine in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology. This fellowship will support up to two international medical doctors each year from developing countries, providing much-needed training in forensic medicine.
At a time of year when many of our students are graduating and embarking on their careers, it is exciting to know that U of T Medicine is attracting this type of transformative support to train health leaders around the world.
The future of medicine, and our collective health care, is dependent on the generous contributions of our alumni, donors, faculty and friends. Thank you for playing an integral role in their academic journey.
