Support WMed During WMU Giving Day on April 17!
WMed is excited to be a part of WMU Giving Day on April 17 when donors can show their support for the medical school as well as other colleges, academic programs, athletics, and more at Western Michigan University.
Donate to The WMed Fund and help us reach our goal of $10,000 in just one day. No matter the amount, every gift matters. The campaign is underway so you can give now or give on April 17.
The WMed Fund is a convenient one-step way for alumni, donors, and friends to make financial contributions to support learner success at the medical school. The WMed Fund allows donors to support the mission of the medical school and the educational needs of our learners - medical students, graduate students, and resident physicians. Every gift makes a difference, no matter the size of the gift.
Your gift to The WMed Fund will help support educational initiatives like the following:
- The General Scholarship Fund
The General Scholarship Fund assists medical students with financial support for tuition that helps reduce loan burden and provides access and opportunity for WMed medical students.
- Online Textbooks
After tuition, one of the greatest needs medical students have are the fees for their online textbooks. These fees typically cost $500 or more per semester.
- Simulated Patient Experiences
Donor support helps to provide the latest in simulated patient treatment training and simulated clinical facilities to ensure WMed students and medical residents are well prepared for their actual clinical work.
- Educational Pipeline Programs
Educational pipeline programs create a pathway to engage students underrepresented in medicine and healthcare at the elementary, middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate levels to careers in health care and medicine.
- Research and Research Travel Funds
One of the great opportunities medical students and medical residents have at WMed is the opportunity to conduct medical research under the supervision of WMed faculty. WMed Fund donors assists with research project costs and funds to travel to regional and/or national professional association meetings to present their research.
- Student Tutoring Services
The medical education process is one of the most demanding of any academic enterprise. Student tutoring services assist students in achieving success in their coursework.
- Student Wellness Programs
Medical studies and residency programs are highly demanding and have the potential to be stress inducing. The WMed Fund helps cover costs associated with wellness initiatives that assist medical students and residents in maintaining a healthy lifestyle during their medical studies and residency experiences.
- Support for Equipment and Instrumentation
Providing medical students and medical residents with state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation is vital to having them enter the medical field trained on the latest medical advances. Donations help WMed stay current in the purchase of new medical equipment and instrumentation for the education of our students and residents.
- Career Development and Exploration
The WMed Fund assists students with financial support for career development and exploration opportunities during their medical education.
