Support the Department
Monetary gifts of all sizes are all valued and sponsor The Department of
Family & Community Medicine (DFCM).
This fund provides general support for the DFCM and
sustains the current priority area. Examples of priority areas are:
- Fellowship opportunities in international family medicine
(one month exchanges for faculty and residents to and from international programs);
- Educational programs, particularly interdisciplinary training of rural primary care physicians;
- Attracting and retaining dedicated minority and Native American students and residents;
- Attracting and retaining dedicated, diverse, high quality faculty;
- Faculty chairs and professorships, e.g., Chair in Rural Medicine;
- Chair discretionary support for our department’s innovative programs.
Designated gifts can be established with the following contributions:
- Scholarship for $25,000
- Fellowship for $100,000
- Professorship $1,000,000
- Chair $2,000,000+
Any gift may be named for you or someone you love, and can be done with an outright gift or a gift
in your will. And, of course, you can contribute your gift over more than just one year.
