Med Zero Event
by UGME Year 1 Course Administrator 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Padma Mongru, Director, Pre-Clerkship Curriculum: ________________________________ Dear Students, On behalf of the Department of Family Medicine, I would like to thank you for attending Med.Zero at the Max Rady College of Medicine last month! We enjoyed meeting all of you and having the opportunity to introduce you to the specialty of Family Medicine, as well as introducing you to some of our wonderful Family Physicians and Family Medicine residents. We hope that you were able to learn a little bit more about Family Medicine, had fun learning new clinical skills, and enjoyed meeting your classmates. We also hope that you found it a worthwhile experience and that it was a fun way to ease into medical school. We encourage you to get involved during med school and learn more about the various specialties (including Family Medicine) and learn and discover what you are passionate about. Shadowing a physician is a great way to gain experience and learn more about a specialty outside of the classroom. There are also many student interest groups and joining FMIG (the Family Medicine Interest Group) is a wonderful way to meet family physicians, learn more about the specialty, about applying to CaRMS, learn new skills, and a lot more. I also encourage you to ask a lot of questions while you're a student and keep an open mind as you go through your studies. If you have any questions that did not get answered during Med.Zero, please feel free to email me (about Family Medicine, med school, etc.). Or if you have specific questions for any of the preceptors who taught the clinical skills workshops or the doctors who were on the panel, we will gladly pass along your questions. My email address is padma.mongru(a)umanitoba.ca. <mailto:padma.mongru@umanitoba.ca.You> You<mailto:padma.mongru@umanitoba.ca.You> can also reach out to the Department of Family Medicine's pre-clerkship email (FM.Pre-Clerkship(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:FM.Pre-Clerkship@umanitoba.ca>) if you would like additional information about Family Medicine. Also, thank you for completing your questionnaires. As Med.Zero is a part of a research study, you will receive 2 more questionnaires during the school year to follow up on your experience (~ January and after rural week). I kindly ask that you also complete those questionnaires as well. Your answers will help to shape pre-clerkship curriculum (which is pretty cool). Thank you again for attending Med.Zero! We also had a lot of fun meeting you and giving you a taste of the variety and excitement that Family Medicine has to offer. I wish you all the best during your med school journey. Dr. Padma Mongru

MMSA EDI Working Group Applications
by Fatima Saqib 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well! Reminder that the EDI Working Group applications close tonight! Please see the message from last week below again, and let me know if you have any questions or if you require any extensions in the application! Information about time commitment and other logistics is also included below. Take care and best of luck with Foundations! Kindly, Fatima ________________________ 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! The time commitment depends on how involved you are interested in being. Most members spend an average of less than 1 hour per month on activities related to the group, with meetings occurring 4-5x per year. There will be various projects, including in areas of curriculum, advocacy, and events for you to choose from, and members are asked to participate in at least 1 project per year. 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<mailto:saqibf@myumanitoba.ca>) or the Vice-Stick EDI Junior, Patricia Machekera (she/her) (machekpc(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:machekpc@myumanitoba.ca>). To apply for a working group, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/cUbrxqYyqM2AAWV1A Applications will close TONIGHT 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

Pre-Clerkship - Course Evaluations Now Done Post-Exam
by Pre-Clerkship UGME 16 Sep '25

16 Sep '25

Hi Med 1's and 2's, This year, UGME is implementing a change to how course evaluations will be completed by students after each course. Ultimately, we hope this will simplify accessing evaluations and encourage a moment to pause at the most relevant time to provide your feedback. What you need to know: 1. Course evaluations are mandatory - in fact, this is the only truly required program evaluation during Pre-Clerkship. Your feedback directly impacts course improvements, just as past students' feedback has shaped the courses you are receiving now. 1. Dedicated time and space - based on input from student and faculty leadership, course evaluations will now be completed right after your exam, in the exam room. * Course evaluations are to be completed AFTER you submit all exams. You are not expected to use exam time for these evaluations. Course evaluation surveys can be completed in the exam room after the exam time has ended (as long as your exam has been submitted), or earlier if you finish your exam early. * We shouldn't be keeping you long. On average, a course evaluation takes about 5-7 minutes to complete. 1. Delivered via Examsoft/Examplify - for ease of access, course evaluations will be available as a separate download via the examination system. Evaluations staff will provide instructions re: downloading, but it should look similar to your examination downloads. All responses will remain anonymous. Reminder... What course evaluations are not: They're not for feedback on specific exam questions - this should be submitted during the exam. However, in a course evaluation you can (and should) provide general feedback on whether the course assessment felt fair and appropriate. Thank you! Maggie Eade, Pre-Clerkship Program Lead, UGME Max Rady College of Medicine | Rady Faculty of Health Sciences | University of Manitoba 260 Brodie Centre - 727 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg MB, R3E 3P5 p: 204.272.3132 e: preclerkship(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:preclerkship@umanitoba.ca>
