The Dr HH Hepburn Memorial Scholarship in Surgery is awarded annually to a medical student graduating from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta.

The award is designed to honor students who demonstrate excellence across multiple dimensions of their medical education and professional development.

This comprehensive evaluation ensures that recipients embody both the technical excellence and personal characteristics necessary for future leadership in the surgical field. The scholarship is administered through the University of Alberta's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. Students are automatically considered for this award based on their completed General Application through the university's scholarship platform, eliminating the need for a separate application process.
