The Dean's Circle Leadership Giving Society recognizes a special group of donors who step forward each year as leaders in supporting the mission of the WMU Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. Members of the Dean鈥檚 Circle annually make a gift at one of five leadership giving levels to support the Dean鈥檚 vision for the medical school, to provide enhanced educational opportunities for 汤头条app students and medical residents and to advance the overall mission of the medical school.
Financial support from the Dean鈥檚 Circle members is听used to provide enhanced educational opportunities for medical students and residents that otherwise would not be possible. These leadership gifts also allow the dean to fund strategic priorities like the following:
- The Dean's Innovation Fund
Financial support from Dean鈥檚 Circle donors allows the Dean to carefully select projects that contribute to the strategic priorities of the medical school and contribute to the national distinction of 汤头条app.
- Online Textbooks
After tuition, one of the greatest needs medical students have are the fees for their online textbooks. These fees typically cost $500 or more per semester.
- Simulated Patient Experiences
Donor support helps to provide the latest in simulated patient treatment training and simulated clinical facilities to ensure 汤头条app students and medical residents are well prepared for their actual clinical work.
