Craig L. Dobbin Bursary in Medicine
The Craig L. Dobbin Bursary in Medicine was established by a generous gift through Dare To: The Campaign for Memorial University, in memory of Dr. Craig L. Dobbin. The bursaries will be awarded to full-time undergraduate students in the Faculty of Medicine. The bursaries will be made available annually and will be used to assist medical students who have exhausted many other means of support and still find themselves in financial difficulty. To apply, students should write a letter outlining their financial needs and complete a bursary application form. The number and value of the bursaries available each year will depend on the funds available for spending (as per University policy), and will be determined at the discretion of the Dean, Faculty of Medicine. Where possible, preference will be given to students from Newfoundland and Labrador who indicate a desire to practice in Newfoundland and Labrador. The bursaries will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of Medicine’s Advisory Committee on Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
Wesley and Jeanne Drodge Award in Simulation
This award was established by a generous donation from Wesley and Jeanne Drodge.

Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, it will be awarded annually to two students in the Doctor of Medicine program who are demonstrating the use of simulation technology on healthcare delivery by presenting at medical conferences. Applications are accepted at the Office of Student Affairs, Faculty of Medicine. The recipients must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award. This award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of Medicine’s Advisory Committee on Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.
