Annual Surgery Education Fund

Our history of exceptional general surgery residency directors has produced a generation (or two) of extraordinary surgeons. As a resident alumnus, your support is invaluable to our continued success. You may recall the intense satisfaction of learning how to save and improve lives amidst the camaraderie of your fellow classmates. Your philanthropic support will help future generations of surgeons experience that same fulfillment. We have identified three ways in which you can help us advance our status as one of the top surgical residency training departments in the nation. You can target your gift directly to the fund of your choice or, if you prefer, split it between two or more areas. Of most help to us are gifts to the Surgery Discretionary Fund because they are unrestricted and allow us the latitude to apply them where they are most needed. The Howie Surgery Research Fund supports the investigative efforts of our junior faculty as seed funding for new research endeavors, thus laying the groundwork to obtain future funding. Gifts to the The Harkins Annual Fund for Surgery Resident Education benefit all our residents by providing enhanced training opportunities as well as loupes, books and resident research.  Please consider supporting tomorrow's surgeons by making a donation today.

Gifts can be made in a variety of forms including cash, securities, and real estate, or through planned giving options. You can make a single secure online donation, or, if you prefer, make convenient quarterly monthly installments. Alternatively, you can write a check payable to the UW Foundation. Specify the fund name in the memo line and mail it to: UW Medicine, UW Medicine Advancement, Box 358045, Seattle, Washington, 98195.
