The Bikram S. Dhillon and Family Medical Library will be the School of Medicine’s gateway to learning, an essential resource for study, research and collaboration.
Toronto, July 10, 2025 – Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) today announced that Bikram Dhillon, CEO of BVD Group, and his family have made a transformational donation to the TMU School of Medicine in Brampton. The school welcomed its first cohort of future physicians earlier this month with the launch of its Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) programs. Over 100 residents began their training in 16 newly accredited residency programs. The Dhillon family’s multi-million dollar contribution will support the establishment of the university’s new Medical Library along with two new student awards.
Recognizing that the costs of undertaking a medical education can be a challenge for many promising candidates, the Dhillon family established two new awards programs. The Bikram S. Dhillon and Family Scholarship—worth up to $50,000 each—will be awarded to five outstanding students demonstrating commitment to health in their community. And, each year, five incoming students of high academic standing will receive the Bikram S. Dhillon and Family Award, providing $5,000 to each student toward their medical education.
TMU is proud to recognize the generosity of Bikram Dhillon and family through the naming of the Medical Library. The Bikram S. Dhillon and Family Medical Library will be the School of Medicine’s gateway to learning, an essential resource for study, research and collaboration. The Dhillon family’s generous donation to the TMU School of Medicine aligns with their notable history of giving back to the community, and their keen awareness of the need to strengthen medical education and local health care.
