Rare Disease Foundation (RDF) UTSC

The Rare Diseases Foundation (RDF) is dedicated to raising awareness about the numerous rare diseases affecting individuals worldwide. These diseases are frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, leading to inadequate patient care. RDF seeks to enhance public awareness and support through fundraising efforts for various charitable organizations. Operating on the pillars of education, equity, creativity, and community the foundation aims to educate and inspire students about rare diseases. RDF hosts Q&A seminars with leading experts to foster a deeper understanding of these rare conditions. Additionally, members are encouraged to take initiative in finding innovative angles to engage the community, through which all students can improve their scientific literature reading skills and learn more about a career in rare disease research. Through these initiatives, RDF promotes a comprehensive and innovative approach to learning and advocacy in the field of rare diseases.
