11 Sep '24

Hi everyone, I hope you've all enjoyed the first few weeks of medical school! I wanted to update you all on the process and timeline of your class council elections. Nominations begin today and will close September 22nd at 11:59pm. The positions that are elected to the Med 1 class council are: * Class President * Academic Representatives (2 positions) * Social Representatives (2 positions) * Sports Representatives (2 positions) * Wellness Representatives (2 positions) * MMSA Medicine I Representative * Community Outreach Representatives (2 positions) * Global Health Liaison Junior Each position is self-nominated. To nominate yourself, fill out the linked Google Form<https://forms.gle/WV4pyHteLgU1TePw9>, where you will indicate the position you are running for and a written platform of no more than 300 words (500-word max for those running for Class President). Please note: Each candidate must run independently -- no candidates may run as a group/slate during the election (including for positions that have multiple representatives). Prior to the start of the election period, there will be an option for a speech to outline your platform. Speeches must be no longer than 3 minutes (5 minutes for Class President nominees). The timeline for the elections will be as follows: September 11th - September 22nd at 11:59pm: Nomination Period September 24th (Time TBD): Nominee Speeches September 24th (after speeches end) - September 27th: Election Period For ease of reading, I have included documents with the parts of MMSA’s Bylaws and Elections and Referendum Manual that are relevant to your class council’s election. These entire documents can be found on the MMSA website<https://mmsa.online/mmsa-news/mmsa-update-updated-bylaws-and-elections-manu…>. I have also included a write up from each elected position/group on our council that provides a more detailed explanation of their duties and the initiatives they worked on last year. Best of luck with the election If you have any questions about the procedures of the election or would like to connect with the Med 2s that currently serve in any of the positions mentioned, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

Hi everyone, Congratulations on being accepted into the Max Rady College of Medicine!! I’m Dustin, the President of the Class of 2027. To ensure that you are all able to connect with your classmates as soon as possible, we have created a Facebook page for your class. In addition to hosting introductions from your class, this will be the main source of communication between the Orientation Week Coordinators, Manitoba Medical Students’ Association (MMSA), and your class. You can find the Facebook page by clicking this link<https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1ysaKPBGmwwPowmP/>, or by searching “MB Med 2028”. We hope to have a Slack channel for your class up and running in the first week or two of class, in which time we will move the communications over to Slack. I will send out an email with an invitation to that channel once it has been created. Jason and Jeff, two members of our class, have been hard at work organizing events around your classes during Orientation Week to help you get to know everyone in your class. You can find more information about what they have planned on the Facebook page! Congratulations again! I’m looking forward to meeting you all during your Orientation Week and throughout the year! Regards, Dustin Erickson, B.Sc (Co-op) President, UGME Class of 2027 Year 1 MD student Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba
