Dear [member_wildcard_31847],

Ranked within the top 20 medical schools for primary care training and within the top 50 for research by U.S. News & World Report, UC Davis School of Medicine is training doctors who are advancing excellence and innovation in medicine, healthcare and their respective specialties. You know first-hand how the interdisciplinary collaboration and experience gained here provides the foundation for the achievements to come in our future doctors’ careers.

That is why I am asking today [member_wildcard_31859] of current medical students through the UC Davis School of Medicine Alumni Association Scholarship Fund. [member_wildcard_31860] will provide a respite from the financial burden our talented medical students face, as the average post-graduation debt has skyrocketed to nearly $140,000. With scholarship support, students may focus on their studies and hone their skills, so they are better prepared to make an impact in California and beyond.

You can empower current medical students and lay the foundation for future medical achievements by making your gift to the School of Medicine Alumni Scholarship Fund today.

Just a minute of your time will make a lifetime of difference to a current medical student.

Sincerely,

Jamie McManus, M.D., ’79, UCDMC ’82
President, 2009-2011
UC Davis School of Medicine Alumni Association

Your gift to the School of Medicine will count toward The Campaign for UC Davis, a universitywide initiative to raise $1 billion in philanthropic support from 100,000 donors.
