MMSA Interest Group Information
by MMSA VSI 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying your first week of Foundations of Medicine! I wanted to reach out to you all to provide a bit more information about our Interest Groups. Interest Groups are student-led groups that highlight specific areas of interest, both within and beyond medicine. They do this by hosting events throughout the year that showcase what makes their focus unique. We have made significant changes to how the Interest Groups operate this year, and we hope that these changes will improve the program for your class and future pre-clerkship students! Interest Groups will now fall under one of five categories: * Academic: Interest Groups for which there is an R1 CARMS program. * Leisure/Sports/Hobby: Interest Groups for interests outside of medicine. * Activism/Advocacy/Service: Interest Groups dedicated to promoting awareness and action on important topics in medicine. * Community: Interest Groups aimed to connect and support students within shared identity groups. * Externally Affiliated Groups: Groups that operate similarly to Interest Groups that are often smaller chapters of larger organizations. A complete list of Interest Groups, as well as a summary of their objectives can be found in the attached document. Here is a brief overview of how the Interest Group Council will be structured: * One Executive in Med 2 who will be responsible for overseeing the activities of the Interest Group Council * One Med 1 Representative who will help the Executive with their duties. The Med 1 Rep will transition into the Executive role upon starting Med 2. * Up to six Council Members, each with roles that are unique to the Interest Group. These positions will be a one year term. These positions are new this year, and the roles have yet to be finalized. Each year the MMSA holds an Interest Group Information Night where the current M2 execs showcase their interest group in the Joe Doupe Concourse (2nd Floor of the BMS). This year our information night is scheduled to take place on September 4th from 6 to 8pm. There will also be a Non-Academic Interest Group information night happening September 5th from 5 to 7pm, which will showcase various groups from the Community and Advocacy/Activism/Service categories. Attendance is completely optional, but this is a great opportunity to learn about all of the interest groups available. Following the info night, I will send out instructions on how to submit your application for the groups you may be interested in! The first round of applications will be for the M1 Representative, and the application will consist of open-ended questions for you to fill out. Each application will then be blinded, and the current M2 execs will select candidates who they believe will be the best fit for the group!

by Max Fidel 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '25

Hey guys! I’m excited to share that, thanks to the work of one of our M4 students, Megan Weisshaar, we will be partnering with AMBOSS to provide a school-wide discount on some of their products, along with a series of workshops led by their team. These sessions will highlight how to use AMBOSS effectively in both pre-clerkship and clerkship. For those unfamiliar, AMBOSS is both a study and clinical tool. While it is primarily designed as a pocket clinical resource for clerkship and beyond (think UpToDate, but more concise), some students also found it to be a helpful adjunct resource during pre-clerkship. In addition, AMBOSS offers Qbanks for NBME Shelf Exams, USMLE Steps 1–3, and—new this year—a MCCQE Part I Qbank. Details for the first workshop in this series can be found below, please RSVP with the link below if you plan on attending so that food can be ordered accordingly. Attendance is not required in order to be eligible for the discounts. --- 📣 Mark your calendars — an exciting AMBOSS Workshop is coming your way!

Learn directly from AMBOSS physicians and get a first look at our brand new MCCQE Part I Qbank! 🧠 What to expect: * Expert-led clinical insights from AMBOSS physicians * Practical tips to ace your rotations and exams + brand new MCCQE Part I Qbank * Live Q&A and interactive case discussions 🎁 Plus: * Free food & drinks * Special prizes & giveaways * Exclusive AMBOSS discounts 📍 Place: Apotex 050 Lecture Theatre 🗓️ Date: 4th of September ⏰ Time: 5:00 - 6:00 PM 👉 Register here: https://go.amboss.com/Workshop-Manitoba-0925 --- Let me know if you have any questions.

Message from Dr. Chris Christodoulou, Interim President and CEO of Shared Health Critical discussions with multiple partners to address the safety concerns surrounding Health Sciences Centre continue. The safety of our staff, patients, and visitors is paramount, and we have a shared responsibility of ensuring a safe and supportive environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

Thanking your donors throughout medical school
by Awards UGME 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

Good afternoon Med 1 students, We have completed our allocations for entrance scholarships. Those of you that were deemed eligible have already received notice from Financial Aid & Awards to accept your scholarship. Those that did not receive an email, I regret to inform you that you were not selected. The College of Medicine has put in place a requirement for recipients of awards/bursary/scholarships to send a thank-you note to the donor. It is always important to take the time to remember the effort and initiative of each donor who established the Max Rady College of Medicine scholarships, prizes, or bursaries, either in loving memory of a family member or previous classmates. Expressing your thanks is considered to be an act of professionalism. Students who receive a named award/scholarship/bursary throughout their four years, are expected to send a thank you note to the listed donor. Students that receive awards/scholarships/bursaries will be notified by Financial Aid & Awards and asked to accept their award (see example below). [A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated] Students who do not send a thank you note will be deemed ineligible for subsequent scholarships and awards. This change has been approved by the Awards/Scholarship/Bursary Committee and endorsed by the Dean and members of the Dean's Council. In the case where a donor is not listed, please contact me at AwardsUGME(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:AwardsUGME@umanitoba.ca> Thank you, Jen

Hi Med 1's, Thank you to those of you who filled in the session evaluation for this morning's Preparing for Pre-Clerkship session (and for the hair compliment, ha!). In one of the comments there was a request for the slides, which have been posted on Entrada now for reference. It was great to meet you and chat with some of you one on one - I hope you'll feel free to connect in the coming days if there's anything else I can help you with as you're adjusting to the program/our new life together.
