Hi everyone,
Congratulations on your acceptance to the Max Rady College of Medicine, we hope you're having a great summer so far!
The Medtorship Program is a student-run initiative to help connect new Med 1 students with Med 2s. These Med 2 Medtors will be there for you to provide advice, guidance, reassurance, friendship, and support as you get used to life as a medical student. Starting med school can be stressful and your Medtor can be a great resource to help you get settled.
We'll do our best to choose a Medtor who's a good match for you and accommodate any requests. To do this, we want to know a more about you! This survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses are not shared with faculty or other students, only the coordinators (Kes and Madison) will be able to see them. Please don’t worry about coming across as the “ideal med school candidate”. The survey is meant to give us an idea about who you are and help match you with the right person. The questions in this survey are meant to be lighthearted and fun, so if there's anything you don't want to answer you can skip the question.

Once you have submitted the survey, the next step is to wait for an e-mail from us with the name and contact information of your Medtor! You can contact your Medtor directly, and there will also be opportunities to connect with them once the school year starts.
We are also hoping to hold events throughout the year where you will be able to meet up with your Medtor as well as get advice about courses and life in med school!
The deadline for completion is MONDAY AUGUST 3rd at 11:59pm. We will begin pairings after this date. If you know of anyone who missed the deadline but would still like to partake in this program, please have them send us an email. Please use your official @myumanitoba.ca email address to complete this survey.
We look forward to meeting you all in August! In the meantime, feel free to email us at medtorship@gmail.commailto:medtorship@gmail.com with any comments, concerns, or questions you may have.
Cheers,
Madison Chisholm and Kes Gameiro Medtorship Coordinators 2026-2027
P.S. Formatting for the survey works best on your laptop/computer because mobile versions tend to cut off answer options. We apologize for that!
