The Allen L.

Residents will be eligible for a one time award. Funds can be used towards travel, food, and/or room and board while on medical rotation overseas.
This gift is inspired by and serves to memorialize Allen L. Pelletier, MD, (1955 – 2019), a Professor and former member of the MCG Family Medicine faculty who served as a medical missionary in Nigeria alongside his family in the 1990s. He is remembered by his colleagues, residents, students, and patients as a dedicated and compassionate teacher and physician.
