Thanks to a generous donation from Dr.
Phyllis Madryga (Duncan) to the
Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Scholarship Foundation (NLMSF),
a scholarship will be awarded in her name. A
separate fund has been established under the NLMSF and interest will
be awarded yearly.
This scholarship will be given to fourth-year medical
students at Memorial University who intend to enter a family
practice residency and practice in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.
Other criteria to be taken into consideration are academic
achievement and leadership potential. Dr. Duncan (as she was known
to her many friends, colleagues and patients) is now retired and
living in Manitoba. She spent her medical career as a family
physician in Trinity.
Bursaries
The Canadian Medical Association,
through its subsidiary MD Management Ltd., and the Canadian Medical
Foundation has partnered with the NLMA to offer financial assistance
to medical students. This joint initiative enables a limited number
of bursaries to be made available to medical students in
Newfoundland and Labrador-funded seats at Memorial University. Since
2002, 12 bursaries have been awarded.
The NLMA extends its sincere thanks to
members who contributed to the Scholarship Foundation upon
membership renewal in 2005.
