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.

CL2029 BI1 midterm - update
by Pre-Clerkship Evaluations 29 Sep '25

29 Sep '25

Good morning everyone, As you know, there were many problems at the exam today - ExamSoft was having problems and students couldn't download the exam. Then there were problems uploading the exam. In the end, students were successful at uploading though it took a while. For some students, they had to write their exams on paper. For those students, they will not be able to get a Student Report for this exam as I will have to hand mark them. I will upload your marks to Entrada when I release the marks to the rest of the class. I want to say a huge THANK YOU to the class for being so patient and understanding. Hopefully this will not happen again. You are all ROCKSTARS!
