Congratulations to our colleagues at the SFU School of Medicine! The new medical school at @SFU will add much needed capacity to BC’s healthcare system and create many new opportunities for Life Sciences students at SFU and other schools to pursue medical careers.

#SFU’s medical school is moving forward! We are closer to training more family doctors with today’s announcement of an interim space at the Surrey campus, funding, a three-year curriculum model and a founding dean.

It was wonderful to hear @Dave_Eby, @adriandix
and @drjoyjohnson talk about the new #SFU medical school training the doctors of tomorrow. This is great for BC, pivotal for SFU, and an incredible opportunity for so many students who aspire to work in our healthcare system.

[Simon Fraser University @SFU]

It’s an exciting day at #SFU Surrey as Premier @dave_eby announced $4.9 million toward start-up activities for B.C.’s second medical school and the hiring of an interim Dean. Read more about our plans: https://t.co/JNMsp1AUl8

[Angela Brooks-Wilson @A_BrooksWilson]

Providing this generous gift specifically for seed funds for new projects is very strategic. I expect it to catalyze many new research directions for our life sciences researchers at @SFU_Science.

[SFU Science @SFU_Science]

As they commuted to @SFU each day Claire and Will Cupples used to dream about ways that they could support research at SFU. Now they've made their dream a reality with a generous $2 million gift to help fund pilot studies and equipment for life sciences. https://t.co/rvKWQMUutU
