"It is a tremendously exciting time in the healthcare sector across Canada – the explosion of knowledge regarding the biology of disease and human health is unprecedented. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly important for individuals to take responsibility for developing a sustainable healthcare system.

At The University of Western Ontario, and more specifically the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, we remain committed to developing a sustainable model of healthcare, and preparing our future healthcare leaders for this. Because of this, we continue to be strong supporters of The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame Discovery Days in Health Sciences program.

Since Western first hosted the first Discovery Day in 1997, we have provided thousands of students with an introduction to the complexity of healthcare research, and to the exciting number of professions within the health continuum. I would like to sincerely thank TD Bank Financial Group for their on-going sponsorship of The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and investing in this unique and beneficial program."
