How Your Fellow Alumni Are Supporting Penn

Pulse would like to thank and pay tribute to those that recently made significant contributions to medical education.

• Barbara M. Jordan, Penn Medicine Board member and spouse of the late Henry A. Jordan M'62 and Res'67, made a leadership commitment to establish the Care-7 curriculum—a four year course designed to educate Perelman students with palliative and hospice care for patients.
  
  
• The Benjamin and Mary Siddons Measey Foundation have agreed to fund the Measey Specialty Transition Pathways (STEP) to Residency Program, supporting Perelman students in their final year of medical school as they transition to residency. In addition, the Measey Foundation generously renewed their support to the Measey Foundation Scholarship Fund, the Measey EMT Training Program, Measey Learning in Virtual Environments Program Fund, and the Measey Foundation Fellowship Award Fund—investing in numerous, high-impact opportunities across the School of Medicine.

Bolno, Esq., made a new commitment to establish the Bolno-Pineles Family Scholarship Fund, which will support Perelman students—with preference for students who have demonstrated interest in Jewish studies and cultures. They reside in Los Angeles, CA.
