Online Nomination Forms can be submitted by students and faculty to the Undergraduate Medical Education Office by March 31. The Progression & Awards Committee will select the recipient each year from the list of nominations.

Value: 1 at $1,900 Effective Date: 2023-2024 academic year Peter was a young man who knew that being a doctor required more than just knowledge. He lived that belief through teaching in the teen healthy sexuality project, leadership in the Hippocratic Council, and integration of medical informatics in his career as a nephrologist. But most of all, he knew that it was compassion, caring and laughter that made a doctor into a healer. He is best remembered for his active involvement and leadership in the Tachycardia plays, in which he made everyone laugh by playing roles such as Richard Simmons. He regularly encouraged his colleagues to participate in all social and school activities and to realize that life is meant to be lived to its fullest. Sadly, Peter died in 2005 at the age of 33. The hope is that this award will honour medical students who embody the same spirit of involvement as Peter did, to reward those individuals who demonstrate that medical school is much more than just academics, and who thereby help to create a much more rewarding environment for all fellow medical students.

They garnered the attention of Bob Dylan who hired them to be his backing band for his 1966 world tour. Retreating to the hills of Woodstock, NY, they began to create some of the most endearing, revolutionary and significant rock music of the 20th century. Then, forging out on their own again, they became known as The Band with great albums that re-awakened and re-introduced America to its own cultural roots and history. Richard won the accolades and respect of many talents in the music industry including Eric Clapton. Sadly, Richard's battle with alcoholism and mental health issues eventually lead to his suicide in 1986. The profound and positive impact Richard made through his music and relationships will never be forgotten.

Faculty of Health Sciences Clinical Education Placement Travel Support Bursaries
Faculty of Health Sciences Clinical Education Placement Travel Support Bursaries
Students in the Schools of Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Kinesiology, and the Bachelor of Health Sciences program, incur costs for living and travel expenses beyond the norm as a result of their participation in clinical placements that are an integral part of their academic programs. The intent of the bursaries is to support students who are completing clinical placements outside of the City of London. Students will have the opportunity to apply for a one-time award per budget year (May 1 - April 30) to help offset these costs. The bursaries are intended to offset some of the additional costs that occur when students do not receive placements in London and are required to travel outside of the city. They can also help to offset placement expenses that occur when students are required to use their vehicles within a placement, and incur expenses in excess of those that occur during routine travel to and from a placement site. Students can apply for a Clinical Education Placement Travel Support Bursary for any clinical education placement expenses that meet the criteria below for placements that occur within the time frame of May 1 to April 30. Students cannot apply for expenses that have been covered already by other grants or programs. Criteria: Students can complete the form to apply for support under one or more of the following: 1. A student absorbs two housing costs (i.e., a student continues to pay for London-area housing and can demonstrate payment for other housing in the placement location). 2. Commuting distances to a placement location exceed 60 km daily (e.g., students commuting to St. Thomas, Stratford, Chatham, or Sarnia for placement), or there is a need to use a personal vehicle for community or home visits that are included as part of placement responsibilities. 3. One-time travel expenses for air, rail, or auto transportation required to reach a distant placement location. 4. Special placement-specific travel expenses (e.g., a student is required to purchase additional vehicle insurance for the duration of a placement, or must rent a vehicle in order to complete the placement). Note: Each School and Program will distribute its allotted funds to eligible students as it deems appropriate.
