Myre Sim Fund
Dr Myre Sim (1915-2009) was a renowned and published psychiatrist who assisted many individuals and organisations through his long and successful career, in addition to making a major contribution to the medical community. He was brought up and educated in Edinburgh and graduated MBChB from Edinburgh University in 1938. Although he did not remain in Edinburgh to practice medicine, he retained a great fondness for the Edinburgh University Medical School and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He became a Fellow of the College in 1970. During his lifetime Dr Myre Sim made a series of generous donations to the College. These are now administered by the Myre Sim Committee which meets twice a year.
"I would like to convey my gratitude to the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for awarding me the Myre Sim Fund Bursary to reduce my finance burden on registration fee and accommodation in Malaysia. This bursary has served the purpose of its objectives to support an educational mission of an undergraduate student to enhance new learning experience and conduct a small-scale clinical research project in a developing country."
