Medical Alumni Student Resource Fund
To support scholarships, student travel, conference participation, purchase of white coats, event support and additional student expenses throughout the year.
Student Travel: Pitt Medical students have access to a wide array of academic programs, extracurricular activities, and research opportunities that enhance their experience and the value of their Pitt education. From global health opportunities to conference networking experiences, current students take advantage of all the University has to offer, and that is made possible by donor support.
Student Events: Medical students at Pitt are connected to their classes and the alumni community 24/7. Using the alumni-based support; students participate in their White Coat Ceremony, Match Day, Graduation Luncheon, third year pinning, Black Bag Ball, and Scope and Scalpel events. Donations make possible the pivotal programming that aids students as they enter their education and residency programs.
Student Coffee: Over the course of four years, the MAA brews more than 7,000 gallons of free coffee for current Pitt Med Students, provided by the generosity of our medical alumni. This coffee not only serves as a much-needed caffeine boost but puts the MAA in touch with the students daily, connecting students to each other and to the broader Pitt Med alumni family. This connection has fostered an environment where students want to continue to connect with alumni and attend alumni functions while enjoying a unique and appreciated gift from former students to the next generation of physicians
