Summary from noon session today
by Pre-Clerkship Evaluations 10 Sep '25

10 Sep '25

Hi everyone, Here is a brief summary of what we covered today: 1. How to read the Student Report * Course leaders do not get your individual marks. They are given an overall summary with redacted student names and marks. * They go over the statistics and make changes based on them. * Any questions that perform below 30% are automatically dropped. * For midterms, questions that perform below 60% are reviewed and revised if necessary. Course leaders also prepare a presentation that goes over the concepts that performed poorly. We upload those to Entrada in the Event Resources section of the exam event. They will not contain the actual questions. Usually, course leaders will provide the slides or notes from the curriculum where the material can be found. Use this to help you study for the final exam. We do not do this after the final exams. * Student Report contains CLOs (ex. FM0.1). CLOs can be found in your syllabus. Every question is linked to a CLO. It is to help you figure out where you need to improve. Questions are also tagged with the sessions the question came from. 2. Notes and Feedback * Students can leave comments on each question in the exam. i. Can be found under Tools-Notes ii. Examples of comments: typos, material not covered in lectures, ask for clarification, etc. iii. Course leaders read all the comments and use those to improve questions. iv. They will not respond individually to students as all comments are anonymous. v. Try not to use the comment section to write down your thought process as you work out the answer - use scrap paper for that. You can always ask for more scrap paper from the invigilators if needed. 1. FM0 exam results released same day as you have assignments based on the results. * All other courses - we try to release marks same day but not always possible. Will release them as soon as they are ready. Sometimes we have to consult with the course leaders and instructors if there are comments about questions. Let me know if you have any questions. Katherine Clark Pre-Clerkship Evaluations Program Administrator, UGME Max Rady College of Medicine | Rady Faculty of Health Sciences 260 Brodie Centre - 727 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3E 3P5 For JULY, AUG & SEPT please email as phone will not be working E: PreClerkEvaluations(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:PreClerkEvaluations@umanitoba.ca> [A close up of a logo Description automatically generated]

MMSA Interest Group Information
by MMSA VSI 09 Sep '25

09 Sep '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!

MMSA EDI Working Group Applications
by Fatima Saqib 09 Sep '25

09 Sep '25

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well and congratulations on completing your first exam of medical school! Under the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) portfolio of the MMSA, 3 working groups exist to address various topics and focus on projects that work towards improving equity and inclusivity in medical school. These groups are: * Race and Ethnicity * 2SLGBTQIA+ * Accessibility The members of these groups take part in various activities throughout the year, including curriculum review, advocacy and information campaigns, and event planning. Some examples of events completed over the past year include: * History and Medicine Showcase Night highlighting how various medical innovations have roots in marginalized communities. Indigenous physicians as well as historians had a sit down conversation while students enjoyed a catered lunch. Part of this event was an Instagram highlight of various innovations that students researched. * EDI and Global Health Conference: the largest student run medical conference in Manitoba is planned by the EDI working group members! Topics of past years include patient advocacy and healing forward, and the conference brings together medical students, residents, staff, and community members over a full day of speaker highlights and interactive sessions. * Curriculum reviews: students in the working groups work with course leads to review course topics and address where equity directed changes and improvements can be made, as well as where new content can be added. More information about curriculum reviews is included in the application form questions. * Lunch and Learn series: students from various working groups brought in speakers to discuss topics, such as working in South Africa as a Black physician during Apartheid, throughout the school year so students could learn from physicians while enjoying a free lunch. * Members are able to join the RFHS EDI committee, and be involved in projects beyond the medical school. * Members may also work with other physicians, healthcare workers and/or community members who can advocate for equity focused changes. The goals and outcomes for the working groups are very much determined each year by the members, so if you are interested in having an idea come to life or to be involved in meaningful work during medical school, joining a working group is an excellent opportunity to do so! Working group members will have their work credited on their MSPR, and this will not interfere with the 2 group maximum for Interest Groups. As membership in the working groups is a 2 year term, members selected in their first year of medical school will automatically be in the working group in their second year as well. Any questions about the working groups in general and EDI work within the MMSA can be directed to the MMSA Vice-Stick EDI Senior, Fatima Saqib (she/her) (saqibf(a)myumanitoba.ca) or the Vice-Stick EDI Junior, Patricia Machekera (she/her) (machekpc(a)myumanitoba.ca). To apply for a working group, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/cUbrxqYyqM2AAWV1A Applications will close at 11:59 pm on Wednesday, Sep 17th, 2025. Kindly, Fatima Saqib (she/her) Student | Class of 2027 Vice Stick Equity, Diversity, Inclusion Sr. Manitoba Medical Students’ Association Max Rady College of Medicine

Please share widely amongst students and contacts.

ADHD is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 5% of adults across all genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Adults with ADHD often experience barriers in post-secondary institutions due to differences in how they process information creating challenges in areas such as: task initiation, focus, time management, working memory, impulse control, and emotional regulation. While neurodivergence can make academia more challenging, people with ADHD often have unique traits that add value such as creative and innovative thinking and problem-solving skills, the ability to hold multiple perspectives at once, and the ability to maintain a high level of focus and dedication on the subjects they are passionate about. WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE? The group is participatory and facilitated by Jen Porter/SSBC Counsellor. Each of the six sessions will involve a check-in, a brief presentation, and facilitated discussion. WHO CAN REGISTER? This group is for Rady Faculty of Health Sciences and Inner-City Social Work learners who may identify as having ADHD, or experience challenges related to task initiation, focus, emotional regulation, time management, and organization in areas of personal and academic life. The ADHD Information and Support Group is also for learners who are interested in connecting with and learning from their peers, reflecting on their own experiences, and actively trying out new tools and strategies. Please note: Participating in this group will not provide learners with an ADHD assessment or diagnosis. REGISTRATION: * Registration is required and spaces are limited. * Registration may require a 1-on-1 intake appointment with the facilitator prior to the group starting. * Registration deadline is Monday, September 29, 2025 at 8:30 am. * Learners can learn more and register by contacting SSBC at: 204-272-3190 or bcss(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:bcss@umanitoba.ca> Please feel free to connect with any questions.
