The Friedman Award for Scholars in Health is named after Constance Livingstone-Friedman and Sydney Friedman, the first two faculty members in the UBC Faculty of Medicine. Drs. Constance and Sydney Friedman believed that a full well-rounded education requires students to learn from different perspectives and learn from different cultures. The goal of the Friedman Award\u00a0is to provide funding to graduate students or medical residents so that they can pursue a learning opportunity to further their career or to bring new perspectives to the education they have already received.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Two to four\u00a0scholarships of\u00a0$25,000 to $50,000 each will be awarded for six\u00a0or more months of study and are open to renewal for one time only. The amount of the scholarship will be at the discretion of the adjudication committee within the above stated range. Each recipient of a Friedman Award\u00a0will be designated a \u201cFriedman Scholar\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
