The Tom Donaldson Prize
SEMSoc in conjunction with BASEM would like to open the Tom DonaldsonEssay Prize.
Tom Donaldson was the founder of the Sports and Exercise Medicine Society. Having graduated as a doctor at the University of Manchester in January 2009, Tom sadly passed away on his elective in New Zealand a month later. An incredibly bubbly and charismatic person, Tom left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was an inspiration to those that helped him start the society and his passion and enthusiasm for sports and exercise medicine was inspirational.
