  • The Ashworth Student Travel Award
  • Established by M. Anthony Ashworth M.D.,C.M. 1961 and family to honour the late Dorothy and William Ashworth of Montreal, the award(s) will support medical students conducting their elective clinical clerkship in remote regions in Canada or in a developing country. As a result of his many trips to the James Bay region, Dr. Ashworth believed that practising with limited technology made the physician a better clinician.
