METAGENICS INC. PLEDGES $264,000 GIFT TO CCNM Toronto, July 31, 2003 Metagenics Inc has committed $264,000 in a partnership with The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine to fund four new initiatives at the college over a five-year period. David Schleich, B.Ed, MA, EdD (candidate), President of CCNM, is delighted with this partnership. “It is imperative for CCNM to ally with companies who not only understand the rapid changes occurring in the natural medicine sector, but are active participants in that shift,” he says. A major beneficiary of the funding is The Metagenics Visiting Elders Program, designed to introduce students and doctors to 40 elders over five years. Components of these visits will be videotaped and included in The Metagenics Collection, an educational electronic library. The Metagenics Suite will be built at CCNM and be made available to visiting elders and other speakers supporting the curriculum and assisting the college in its complementary medicine affiliations. Metagenics will also contribute to the Naturopathic Student Association’s (NSA) annual “Unity Project”, encouraging networking and unity among naturopathic practitioners by supporting the Metagenics Fall and Winter Orientations and the Annual Spring Handover Seminar for student governments. The Metagenics Annual Emergency Medicine Scholarship Fund will also be established offering students the opportunity to attend a two-week emergency medicine program in Connecticut. “We look forward to sharing these exciting new projects with the faculty and students at CCNM,” said Jeffrey Bland, PhD, FACN, President and Chief Science Officer, Metagenics Inc.
