Welcome to the MEDIC Foundation

MEDIC Stands for Medical Engineering students Designing Innovations for a Cause. We were created with the vision of improving the accessibility to healthcare technology for patients diagnosed with chronic conditions.
We are a provincially registered non-profit under the British Columbia Societies Act as MEDIC for Innovation Foundation.

CHRONIC DISEASE

: a human health condition that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects 

Our Approach

Our team is unique in that we strive to partner with various interdisciplinary laboratories, companies and organizations to provide research opportunities to undergraduate students while innovating and advocating for chronic diseases.

A GLOBAL MINDSET

The Global Outreach Project

We are dedicated to providing rural communities locally and globally with access to medical technology. With our connections in areas such as Sri Lanka, Nigeria and India, our team spends a portion of our time working on collecting medical supplies and funds to donate to such communities.

ADVOCACY

Awareness Initiatives

We believe that awareness about chronic conditions is equally as important as researching for them. Each month our team curates and publishes newsletters comprising information about chronic conditions. We interview students, professors and patients to generate a unique perspective towards each topic with the goal of generating interest and advocacy around chronic diseases.
