U of T Faculty of Medicine alumni are truly changing the world. They are transforming children’s lives internationally through cleft repair, creating Canada’s first multi-organ transplant program, rehabilitating victims of torture, harnessing big data across hospitals to improve research and care, enhancing outcomes for children receiving liver transplants. And much more.
Dean Trevor Young is keen to highlight this impact. He presented the 2018 Dean’s Alumni Awards at U of T’s Alumni Reunion on June 1.
“It’s incredible to reflect on the many ways our alumni are advancing health and health care,” says Dean Young. “I’m thrilled to recognize some of the most outstanding and inspiring examples of how our alumni community is making a difference.”
