Students must submit an online application which includes a statement outlining their demonstrated interest in Rheumatology to the Undergraduate Medical Education Office by March 31st. The Department of Rheumatology will select the recipient with the approval of the Undergraduate Medical Education Awards Committee. This award was established by a generous gift from Dr. Dhar Dhanda, Mrs. Harv Dhanda and their family, in memory of Dr. Dhanda’s mother, Gurmej Kaur Dhanda, who passed away from the effects of scleroderma, an autoimmune rheumatic disease. Dr. Dhar Dhanda is a proud Western Alumnus who completed his Medical Degree in 1997 and Ophthalmology Residency in 2002.
