Over the course of the next 10 years, the most talented young researchers specialized in pediatrics of the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) will benefit from research scholarships called the Desjardins Scholarships in Child Health. As the only pediatric teaching hospital for McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine, one of the most prestigious in the world, the MCH is responsible for much of the training of young doctors and researchers in clinical pediatrics and child health research. This financial assistance will provide successful candidates with a unique opportunity to work with leading researchers and achieve a critical step in advancing their education and scientific career. The Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation is very grateful to Desjardins for this important investment as it will enable the Foundation to continue to support the excellent care provided by the Montreal Children’s Hospital through the advancement of research and teaching in pediatric medicine.

A committee of more than 100 reviewers evaluates the applications according to academic skills, research progress, training, and letters of recommendation before selecting the recipients of a Desjardins Scholarship in Child Health.
