The Global Health Program in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry has hosted an annual fundraiser (formerly known as the Rich Man Poor Man dinner) for many years to raise funds to sponsor residents and faculty from our international partner sites to come to the University of Alberta for further training.

The fundraiser also helps provide funding for the activities of the Medical Students Association (MSA) along with providing an excellent opportunity for learners, faculty and others with an interest in Global Health to interact and mingle during a fun evening. There is a silent auction which includes student artwork and sport event tickets.  This year we are hosting an evening mixer in the Bernard Snell Hall.  Attendees will enjoy hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, refreshments, silent auction, keynote address with Dr. Stan Houston and entertainment from the MSA's Syncope Band. This event is also a kick off to the Global Health Fair, Feb. 6, 2025, 9 am - 4 pm.  We hope you will join us for this event as well!

The Global Health Program wishes to thank the Rotary Club of Edmonton Sunrise and Mayfield Rotary Club for their generous donations over the last year which have allowed us to sponsor 3 doctors from Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda to take a Post Graduate Medical Electives (PGME).
