07 Oct '25

Hey everyone, I am emailing you to inform you about the first round of the Student Initiative Grant (SIG) program for this academic year. The SIG program is an MMSA administered program that aims to fund new and exciting initiatives and projects developed by students. The ideal SIG application pitches an initiative that is creative, has the potential to benefit all four medicine classes, and has goals that are not already met by an existing program/event. The maximum amount that may be requested for a SIG application is $1000. Please see attached the SIG guidelines and application form for more information. The deadline for applications for the first round of SIGs will be October 31, 2025 at 11:59 pm CST. Within a few weeks of the deadline, applications will be assessed by a SIG committee consisting of myself, the MMSA treasurers, and a few other MMSA council members. Possible outcomes for a SIG application include receiving full funding, partial funding, or rejection. There will be a second and final round of SIGs in the spring! Please send applications and questions to vsi.mmsa(a)umanitoba.ca. Best Regards, Ahmed Zalam, B.Sc.

Med 1 Pre-School Assignment Summary
by Student Affairs Medicine 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

Good morning Med 1 Students, At the beginning of the academic year, you were asked to complete a Pre-School Assignment. Paula and Jim have reviewed the assignments and compiled a summary as a result. Please review the feedback below. Med 1 Introductory Career Development Assignment 2025 Feedback points for consideration: 125 students ( 87% out of 144 students of the whole class) submitted this assignment. 1. Journey to medical school: There is a wide diversity of backgrounds, experiences and environmental factors that were shared in response to this question. This variety is a strength for the cohort. We encourage you to tap into this potential by reaching out and building connections with members of your class. While each person's journey is unique, hearing about the experiences of others often leads to new ideas and possibilities that can be applied to your personal journey. 1. How would a family member or friend would describe your best strength(s): There were many wonderful examples of personal strengths, values and abilities provided in this category e.g. resilient, organized, empathetic, kind, hardworking, and many, many more! It may be helpful to see where your strengths and values fit in with the CanMed competencies<https://www.royalcollege.ca/en/standards-and-accreditation/canmeds.html> as well. 1. Have you identified an area of medicine you would like to practice in? There were many people who were able to identify an area of practice where they felt their interests and skill sets would fit. Specifically, 79% had identified an area of medicine for future practice (23 mentioned family medicine). At our Building a Meaningful Career, we spoke about the importance of recording and reflecting on your experiences to make informed career decisions. Please be sure to retain a copy of this assignment in your career portfolio, file, or journal, so you can refer to it add to it as you progress through medical school. Your reflections will prove very helpful in responding to frequently asked interview questions when you are applying for a residency position in the future. Thank you for completing the assignment and for sharing your insights regarding career awareness and development.
