“I witnessed the enhanced educational value added to my classmates' medical training for those who were able to take advantage of experiences outside of the UC Irvine medical school traditional offerings. If the '86 Travel Endowment funds were available at that time, I could have participated in these endeavors. I hope my contributions provide enhanced training opportunities for our future clinicians.” - Dennis Sanders, MD

“Travel opportunities had a tremendous impact on my medical education, particularly international medical electives in my fourth year at UC Irvine. These experiences helped to frame my thinking around public health, health care access and the social determinants of health, concepts which would shape my medical career for the next 35 years.” - Gail Newel, MD, MPH
E. Michael Reyes, MD, MPH
“I gave because, as a student, I benefited from a UCI-CCM travel scholarship to a Coping with Stress for Gay & Lesbian Physicians meeting at Asilomar Conference Center. That meeting set me up with a professional network that I could call upon throughout my career.” - E. Michael Reyes, MD, MPH
