³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Priorities Fund

There are so many worthy causes within ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences that it can be difficult to choose just one. Our Priorities Fund allows you to make an unrestricted gift to the Faculty, giving the Dean the flexibility to use monies where they are most needed at that time.

Currently, donations to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Priorities Fund may include major upgrades to the McIntyre Medical Building, student awards and support, and improvements and maintenance to undergraduate student laboratories.

McMed Remade: A McIntyre Medical Sciences Building for 21st century medical education

Since its construction in 1965 on the slope of Mount Royal, the McIntyre Medical Sciences Building has remained at the heart of the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and an iconic feature of the Montreal landscape.

"McMed" was designed to make a bold statement: here, we teach and practise modern medicine. Its round form and the proximity of its labs and classrooms were all meant to encourage flow and collaboration.

As the Faculty enters its third century, students and researchers need this type of collaborative space more than ever — but significantly enhanced to reflect 21st century needs.

For many students, the McIntyre is a second home. Together, we can give this second home a major update.

Student awards and support

Our goal is to allow every deserving undergraduate and graduate student the opportunity to study at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ’s Faculty of Medicine, no matter their financial situation. Through your generous contributions, we’re able to reduce students’ financial stress, allowing them to focus on their studies. Financial support is available to students in all Schools and departments within the Faculty through bursaries as well as funding to attend conferences or to pursue research. Your gifts also grant our Faculty the ability to distribute over 150 awards to worthy students annually.

Undergraduate laboratory upgrades

Many of our students spend long hours in the laboratory. Your generous donations can help the Faculty upgrade our laboratory equipment and improve and maintain our labs. This will ensure that each one of our undergraduate students receive the best training to become future-ready professionals.
