Through our educational programs, The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame fosters future generations of medical heroes. We encourage young people to learn more about Canada's rich medical history and to explore the exciting career options that are available to them in medicine and the health sciences. Our three educational programs are:

TD Discovery Days in Health Sciences

A highly successful and sought-after program, Discovery Days are a one-day opportunity for high school students across Canada to attend their local university to learn about careers in the health sciences. Students visit labs, hospitals and classrooms to find out what it's like to work as a health professional. Read more...

London Museum School

The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame is a member of the London Museum School program. Through Museum School, senior elementary classes 'move in' to the Hall for a full week. Students will learn about Canada’s past and present medical heroes, meet local scientists working with the latest technology, and imagine making medical discoveries so meaningful that their portraits are hung next to the 'real' Hall of Fame laureates. Read more... 

The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame / Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life Scholarship Program

This scholarship opportunity is available to high school students who are aspiring to a career in medicine or the health sciences. The value of the scholarship is $1000 per year toward a four-year undergraduate degree at any accredited Canadian university.

Four scholarship recipients will be selected each year, one from each of the following geographic regions: 1) Western provinces (AB BC MB SK); 2) Ontario; 3) Quebec; 4) Atlantic provinces and Territories (NB NL NS PE NT NU YT). Scholarship recipients are chosen based on academic excellence, awards and recognition, extra-curricular activities and community service, and evidence of interest in pursuing an education and career in medical/health sciences.

To be considered for a scholarship for the next academic year, applications must be received by June 15 – no exceptions. Items post-marked June 15 will not be accepted. Where June 15 falls on a weekend, the deadline will be extended to the next business day. Successful candidates will be notified by July 31.

The scholarship is administered by the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC), and the selection is made by a committee of university representatives chosen by the AFMC.

Recipients will receive the award annually for up to four years, or until the scholar obtains his/her first degree, whichever occurs first. If the recipient is enrolled in a three-year degree program, a request may be made to apply the fourth year of the scholarship to the first year of a professional degree program in medical/health sciences.

Students must maintain a minimum average of 80% in order for the scholarship to continue.
