This week's featured student is Lua Samimi! "I am currently in my second year at Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick and will be moving to Miramichi this summer to complete my 3rd year rotations. The Province of New Brunswick Scholarship and the NB Medical Education Foundation have been an incredible support throughout my medical studies and I am forever thankful. At a time where thousands of New Brunswickers are without a family doctor, it is crucial to find ways to increase th...e number of practicing physicians. The NB Medical Education Foundation and its supporting sponsors help fill this gap. These scholarships not only provide financial incentives for students to root themselves in New Brunswick, but they also provide reassurance that there is an entire province cheering us on. Ultimately, that is what keeps us coming back to New Brunswick community." See more

This week's featured student is Jeremy Slayter of Quispamsis, NB! "I am now in my second year of medical school at Dalhousie University, and I am very grateful to be a recipient of the RBC Medical Education Scholarship. Having this scholarship has been a significant burden lifted off of my shoulders and has allowed me to immerse myself in medical school, my training and research. Not only does receiving this scholarship support me financially, but it also continues to remind me that my community supports and believes in me and my pursuits. Thank you to RBC, and the New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation for your supports."

La pandémie COVID-19 a mis en évidence l'importance de l'accès aux médecins dans notre province. La Fondation pour l'éducation médicale du Nouveau-Brunswick a versé plus de $2 millions en bourses d'études à des étudiants déterminés à pratiquer dans la province, mais plus de 40 000 Néo-Brunswickois sont sur une liste d'attente pour un médecin de famille. Faites votre part pour nous aider à améliorer l'accès aux médecins du Nouveau-Brunswick et faites un don aujourd'hui. https://givingtuesday.ca//new-brunswick-medical-education-

As you read this, a group of New Brunswick medical students prepares for a life of service. And because of generous people like you, they’re all are highly likely to set up a practice here in New Brunswick after graduation. You see, these students received return to service scholarships. And in exchange for those scholarships, they’ve pledged one year of medical service in New Brunswick for each year of scholarship received up to four years. That means more doctors practic...ing here at home where we need them most. In fact, just this September, thanks to the kindness of people like you, 42 New Brunswick medical students received scholarships totalling $304,000. And since our organization was formed, your generosity has created over $2 million dollars in scholarships that encourage doctors to practice in our province. Plus, this year, we were honoured to add a new $5,000 award directed to Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick students The Pat Darrah Memorial Medical Education Scholarship. A fitting tribute to a man who gave so much to our community especially in the field of healthcare. Pat considered his role in the formation of DalMedNB the milestone of his many transformative projects. And next year, we aim to double the impact and award two annual $5,000 scholarships, granted in perpetuity in Pat Darrah’s honour. Will you take a moment right now and make a gift? Your donation will ensure Pat’s remarkable legacy of service lives on and will support our future healthcare heroes as they train to embark on their careers in medical service. https://mailchi.mp/78048a58fe76/patdarrah-843670

Support us this National Giving Tuesday by sending a donation to help us keep medical doctors practicing in New Brunswick. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of access to medical doctors in our province. The New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation has provided more than 2 million dollars in scholarships to students committed to practicing in the province, but more than 40,000 New Brunswickers are still on a waitlist for a family physician. Do your part to help us increase access to physicians in N.B. and donate today. https://givingtuesday.ca//new-brunswick-medical-education-
