THOMAS TESORIERO ’81M (MD) Member, Wilson Society Member, George Eastman Circle Thomas Tesoriero ’81M (MD) will be the first to tell you how transformational his medical education was here. The quality of the education. The small class size. Faculty members who inspire as much as they educate. As Tom puts it, the University of Rochester's School of Medicine and Dentistry was the cornerstone of his career as a primary care physician.
Tom wanted others to experience the same life-shaping opportunity for growth. He and his husband, Rob, named the medical school as a beneficiary of Tom's retirement assets, establishing a scholarship fund to support medical students who earned their bachelor's degree from a state college or university. It’s a profoundly powerful gift that will change lives.
