Salerni Collegium

Salerni Collegium was founded in 1958. It was named for the medical school of Salerno, Italy, renowned as the cradle of Western Medicine. Salerni was established for the purpose of providing financial support for the distinguished private medical school of the University of Southern California.

Today, Salerni Collegium plays a vital role in funding programs that assist the medical students financially, academically and professionally. Salerni Collegium support provides scholarships, loans, tutorials, mentor programs, career day, Residency Fair, as well as the MSI Survival Guide and white coats, graduation caps and gowns.

Funds are raised annually from membership dues, memorial gifts, donations, and special events.

Medical Faculty Wives and Friends

Medical Faculty Wives (MFW) has been in the forefront helping the Keck School of Medicine since 1929, with the present day organization dating back to 1945. In the early days, their energies were devoted to developing a close-knit community for the medical students and their families. In later years, as the need for scholarship support became paramount, MFW began serious fund raising activities in an effort to help fill the scholarship coffers, including organizing the Medical Olympics.

The original eight founders formed an organization that has successfully adapted to the inevitable changes. To that end, in September 1997 membership in the organization was expanded and the name was changed to Medical Faculty Wives & Friends to best reflect its composition.

The organization raises funds annually. Membership dues, memorial gifts, donations and the Annual Scholarship Dinner fund endowed and current use scholarship funds.
