Ifeanyi Onyeji, M.D. Memorial Urologic Surgery Resident Education Fund

The Ifeanyi Onyeji, MD Memorial Urologic Surgery Resident Education Fund supports the resident education program in the Department of Urologic Surgery. Initiatives include, but are not limited to, supporting resident education to attend conferences, funding educational programs and resident wellness activities, and supporting educational technology and resources. This fund is currently building toward an endowment, and if it does not reach the endowment level of $50,000, it will be used as a current use fund to support the immediate needs of our students.
