Fuelling a Passion for Discovery

For over 165 years, the University of Toronto's Department of Surgery has sustained a proud tradition of training excellence that is realized in every one of our graduates around the world. The cornerstone of our leading reputation, the Surgeon Scientist Program, prepares our next generation of academic surgeons as skilled clinicians, passionate researchers and dedicated educators.

I ask you to join me and so many of our faculty, alumni and friends in investing in the great future of this Department by making a generous donation today to our Surgeon Scientist Program. While their colleagues are starting careers, future surgeon scientists are still "students".

Your support is needed to help us continue to attract and nurture the brightest and most promising surgical minds to this program, fuelling our continued reputation for excellence.

Your gift will help ensure funding is never a barrier to a surgeon's passion for discovery.

Contributors who donate $1827 or more each year are considered members of the University's Presidents' Circle, a unique recognition society for donors who show leadership in their philanthropy to the University. Members are invited to meet the University President in his home at an annual Garden Party and receive invitations to other lectures and receptions throughout the year. I hope to see many valued colleagues and friends at these events. My sincere thanks to you for considering your support of our Surgeon Scientist Program.
