SMSS Funding
How is the SMSS Funded?
The SMSS is almost solely funded by the College of Medicine Dean’s Office with the goal of enriching the professional lives and learnings available to SMSS Members. Our mandate expresses interests in innovation within our province and beyond, exposure to new and thought-provoking ideas, financial responsibility, and equitable treatment of all our members. As such, there are a number of ways in which members can access funding for a range of activities. These include: Travel Awards to be used to fund trips to conferences and other learning or presenting opportunities, Student Initiative Grants to be used by students with innovative ideas that want to expand the scope of their education and/or the education of others, and General Expenses incurred during participation in a professional or academic endeavour. Members are welcomed to apply for these funding opportunities by using the respective forms.
SMSS General Expense Form
SMSS Members who incur expenses related to professional or academic activities they undertake – especially those that are related to College, SMSS, or Recognized Student Group business – are eligible to apply for and potentially receive up to but not in excess of the costs they incurred. General expense claims are made by filling out the appropriate SMSS General Expense Claim form at the link below. The SMSS VP Finance has discretion on who receives reimbursement, how much within reason, and other pertinent details. Please be advised that failing to COMPLETELY FILL OUT the application form WILL result in the application not being fulfilled; furthermore, any application falsification will be reported to the UGME and may trigger the SMSS Accountability policy and/or may warrant a breach of the UGME’s Professionalism Policy.
Receipts for Reimbursement Must be Submitted Within 2 Weeks of Incurring Your Expense!
