The Executive Dean of Medicine’s Emerging Priorities Fund

Your gift to the Dean’s Priority Fund will help meet the urgent and sometimes unexpected needs of our students, lecturers, and researchers in the Faculty of Medicine.

For 2022, all funds raised through the Dean’s Priority Fund will directly support Rural Health Scholarships.

Every year, UQ receives many requests for financial assistance from medical students studying in rural and remote locations. Establishing Rural Health Scholarships for our Rural Clinical School will ensure support is available to students undertaking placements at the Regional Clinical Units in Bundaberg, Hervey, Bay, Rockhampton and Toowoomba.
 
As well as providing financial assistance to those in need, these scholarships will encourage and support medical students to continue training in their chosen region, in turn building Queensland’s rural medical workforce and leading to improved patient outcomes and medical breakthroughs now and into the future.
