University of Arizona Giving Day

College of Medicine - Tucson alum, Dr. Albert G. Wendt (Class of 1974) is committed to improving the health and wellness of our MedCats and will be matching every dollar given with TWO dollars! For every $2,500 donated to the Health and Wellness Distinction Track Fund on Giving Day, an additional $5,000 in funding will be matched by Dr. Wendt until we reach $100,000! Generally, medical students carry an increased burden of depression, anxiety, and mental stress compared to nonmedical peers of the same age. We are committed to helping our future physicians understand the complex concept of wellness and empowering our MedCats with the tools necessary to understand wellness promotion through all five wellness competencies. Dr. Wendt believes supporting the health and wellness of our medical students fosters a stronger future for healthcare in our nation. He invites you to join him in providing critical support for the health and wellness of our MedCats. Give today to TRIPLE your impact!

Support resident education in the Department of Neurology and double your impact! Gifts up to $5,000 will be matched with the support of a generous donor to the department and provide educational access, opportunities and innovative programming for our residents.

Supporting the Department of Psychiatry’s Trainee Travel Grants initiative will enable psychiatry residents, fellows, and psychology interns in traveling to 1) rural areas to care for underserved patients and 2) conferences for additional education opportunities and professional development. Thanks to the support of the Department of Psychiatry faculty and staff, the first $2,350 in gifts will be matched dollar for dollar! Please donate generously to help the department meet its $5,000 Giving Day goal!
