Every summer, we award one or more medical students who have just completed their second year of medical school, with a $8,000.00 scholarship to spend the summer furthering their education in ophthalmic medicine, surgery and research.
The program consists of education and research experience in the diagnosis and management of eye disease. It is conducted at the Eye Associates and Humber River Regional Hospital in Toronto, with portions at various University of Toronto teaching hospitals, encompassing all sub-specialty areas in ophthalmology. Each student will become involved in at least one research project that is supported by the Foundation.
Up until 2011 we have only been able to offer this program in Toronto, but starting in 2012, our new Western Branch, based in Edmonton and Calgary will, in addition, host their first Summer Scholar student.
Both the Eastern and Western programs consist of education and research experience in the diagnosis and management of eye disease. They are conducted at:
East: Eye Associates and Humber River Regional Hospital (Toronto), with portions at various University of Toronto teaching hospitals
West: The Universities of Alberta (Edmonton) and Calgary.
