The Université de Montréal and the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation have received a $2.5M gift from the Gloria Baylis Foundation to establish a permanent endowment supporting pediatric cardiology education. The Dr Jean-Claude-Fouron Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Fund will finance international fellowships, allowing doctors from underserved regions around the world to access advanced training at CHU Sainte-Justine. “Thanks to the support of the Gloria Baylis Foundation, fellows from emerging countries will receive cutting-edge training at CHU Sainte-Justine, a state-of-the-art pediatric hospital affiliated with [UMontréal],” said UMontréal Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Dr Patrick Cossette. “The expertise these physicians will acquire within our walls will contribute to the sharing of knowledge, both with our population and with medical teams elsewhere in the world.”
