Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, the bursary will be awarded annually to either a student in the undergraduate medical education program or a resident in the postgraduate residency program who is taking a national or an international elective in infectious diseases. The elective must satisfy the Faculty of Medicine requirements in order to be eligible. Applicants must show interest in and a passion for a career in infectious diseases.
