At UBC’s Faculty of Medicine, we’re going beyond the boundaries by bringing medical education and healthcare to rural and remote communities where it’s needed most. The Medical Rural Placement Program connects medical students with firsthand experience in delivering care to underserved populations across BC, helping them develop the skills, knowledge and cultural understanding necessary to make a lasting impact.

Your donation today can help fund student travel, accommodation and essential resources that make these placements possible. By supporting this program, you’re investing in the future of rural healthcare, ensuring that more communities have life-saving access to dedicated doctors who understand the unique challenges of delivering care in remote settings. Since its inception, this initiative has given students transformative learning experiences while strengthening healthcare connections across BC.

Please join us this UBC Giving Day to bridge the gap in healthcare access—because when you support rural medical training, we build a healthier future for all by ensuring quality care reaches every community.
