Postgraduate Bursary Funds
Residency training is both rewarding and demanding, and at times, residents may face unexpected personal or financial challenges that can impact their well-being and ability to continue their training. Through the Postgraduate Emergency Fund and the Dr. Shannon Green Memorial Fund, donors can make a meaningful difference when it is needed most—helping residents navigate unforeseen hardships while also investing in wellness initiatives that foster resilience, balance, and success. Your generosity ensures NOSM University residents feel supported in moments of crisis and throughout their medical training as they care for patients and communities across Northern Ontario.
Postgraduate Emergency Fund
Unexpected expenses can create significant stress during residency training. The Postgraduate Emergency Fund provides urgent financial assistance to residents facing unforeseen hardships—such as a vehicle breakdown needed for clinical placements, emergency home repairs like a furnace failure during winter, unexpected travel costs, or other urgent personal emergencies. This fund helps ensure residents can stay focused on their training and continue providing care to communities across Northern Ontario when life’s unexpected challenges arise.
Dr. Shannon Green Memorial Fund
At its heart, the Dr. Shannon Green Memorial Fund supports resident wellness at NOSM University by funding initiatives, programs, and resources that promote resilience, balance, and well-being during the demanding years of residency training. It is with deep gratitude that we invite donations in memory of Dr. Shannon Green—our colleague and friend.
Dr. Green’s friends, colleagues, and family established this fund to honour her life and legacy while recognizing the importance of meaningful wellness resources for medical residents. This memorial invests in the health and well-being of current and future physicians, reflecting the compassion, kindness, and dedication Dr. Green demonstrated throughout her life and medical training.
