Annual Surgery Education Fund

The University of Washington Department of Surgery has benefited from generations of exceptional residency leadership, helping shape outstanding surgeons who have gone on to make significant contributions to the field. As a residency alumnus, your support plays an important role in sustaining that legacy.

You may remember the satisfaction of developing the skills to save and improve lives while building lasting connections with fellow residents. Your philanthropic support helps ensure future generations of surgeons have access to the same exceptional training experience.

There are several ways to support our mission and help strengthen one of the nation's leading surgical residency programs. You may direct your gift to a single fund or divide your contribution among multiple funds.

Gifts to the Surgery Discretionary Fund are especially impactful because they are unrestricted, allowing the department to address its highest-priority needs. The Howie Surgery Research Fund provides seed funding for promising research initiatives led by junior faculty, helping them establish the foundation needed to secure future grant support. Contributions to The Harkins Annual Fund for Surgery Resident Education support resident education through enhanced training opportunities, research activities, educational resources, and professional development tools such as surgical loupes and textbooks.

Please consider investing in the future of surgery by making a gift today.

Donations may be made in a variety of forms, including cash, securities, real estate, and planned gifts. You may choose to make a one-time online donation or establish convenient recurring quarterly or monthly contributions.

Alternatively, checks may be made payable to the UW Foundation. Please include the name of the fund you wish to support in the memo line and mail your contribution to:
