Here are just a few things that some members from the Classes of 2020--2027 had to say about studying medicine at Queen's! As you read the tips below, keep in mind that we are all individuals with different experiences - find out what works best for you!
What do you like about the MD/Family Medicine Program?
I really love our curriculum & the clinical focus we have had right from day 1! We learn something in class & then I will see that same condition in clinic during our half-day placements, which helps to solidify my learning. Our placements are also another thing I really like about our program because we get clinical experience right away. The small class size is also great. We are all very close & I know it sounds cliche, but it truly feels like a big family! There is also so much opportunity for mentorship, as we are almost 1-on-1 with many of our amazing & supportive instructors.
-Anonymous MD/FM Student
The tutors and mentors. We have so many opportunities to learn with and from family doctors who are currently practicing, through settings such as our small group discussions, clinical skills, half day family medicine clinical placements, and our additional observerships.
-Anonymous MD/FM Student
I like the tight knit community! I like how the professors are super involved -- they want to make sure we learn stuff that we can apply to our future practice. I enjoy the hands-on experience through half day family medicine placements because it gives me opportunities to apply what I learned in class, and understand why I'm learning what I'm learning.
-Anonymous MD/FM Student
What do you like about the MD/PhD program?
I love being in the MD/PhD program. The research environment at Queen's is a little more relaxed than other environments. Everyone is very collaborative and always willing to help.
-Anonymous MD/PhD Student
I love it! I can't imagine myself doing anything else. It has been challenging, certainly, and it is a huge commitment, but it is an engaging and exciting pathway with a lot of support along the way.
-Anonymous MD/PhD Student
What do you like most about studying medicine at Queen's?
Joining the Queen’s school of medicine is like joining a family. The faculty and staff here are fully committed to shaping me into an excellent physician. I got to see this first-hand during a family emergency that happened the first week of school. People I had never met before offered support and encouragement during what might have been one of the most difficult times of my life. There’s no pressure to be ‘better than the next guy or girl’ when it comes to fellow students. We are all on this journey together and, good or bad, we support each other. Queen’s is recognized as an excellent school by practicing health care professionals across disciplines. Regularly, I’m finding that what I’m being taught is at the forefront of approaches to medical education. The practical approach to learning makes me sure I will finish my medical degree ready to take on my residency with confidence.
- Kim Mitchell, 2026
Studying medicine at Queen’s means you will be a part of a small class (100-110 students) who form close-knit bonds and together make your QMed family. The students at QMed come from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds, providing lots of opportunities to teach, and learn from, our fellow classmates. Student-led clubs, extracurriculars, research endeavors, and intramural sports teams help foster an interactive and upbeat environment, conducive to getting through the rigors of medicine. You’ll find that students are keen to help each other learn difficult concepts or to blow off steam by biking the K&P trail or hiking our nearby provincial parks. I think part of what makes Queen’s special is being set in Kingston, ON, a college-town setting along Lake Ontario that tends to keep students coming back in the Summer - so whether you’re coming from far away or you’re a quick drive away, you’ll find that Kingston soon feels like home!
- Olivia Calancie, 2025
I know this may sound like a cliche, but the fact that the class size is only ~100 students makes all the difference in the world for me. You are able to form closer bonds and relationships with your classmates, even despite the pandemic, which is something that I really appreciated. Furthermore, as there are less students compared to other medical schools, there are many opportunities that are available to each individual medical student, whether it be through research, volunteering, leadership opportunities etc. which has enhanced my learning outside of class in a more practical sense. Finally, there have been great opportunities for me to find upper year and faculty mentors that I can connect with and ask questions, which I think has greatly helped me with my career development. All in all, I would say that my experience at Queen’s so far has been fantastic so far, especially since it has solely been in the pandemic. I can’t imagine how great it will be in the future once things begin to return back to normal!
- Peter Lee, 2024
I love how wellness-oriented the culture at Queen’s Medicine is. Even though medical school can get busy, I can honestly say that it has been years since I was able to dedicate so much energy into going outside and staying active. I truly feel like this culture permeates all levels of the medical community. You see so many residents and doctors running, biking, and hiking (all following public health guidelines), which encourages you to follow their footsteps as you initiate your career. Living in downtown Kingston, so close to the water and parks, is very conducive to this.
- Maria Fernanda Huicochea Muñoz, 2024
My favourite thing about studying medicine at Queen's is definitely the people! The class is just the right size where I was able to meet a lot of people and make friends quite easily despite the pandemic. I came to QMed without knowing anyone and being pretty unfamiliar with Ontario as an East Coaster, so being able to find community quickly was really great. QMed students are from all over Canada and have super diverse backgrounds which is super fun. The class and whole Queen's Medicine community are very supportive, which sounds very cheesy but in the case of QMed is actually true.
- Mary Foley, 2024
I love the environment of the Med family. It is such a tight group, and our class does so many fun and interesting things all together as a group outside of class. Everyone supports each other and we all work as a team to get through any difficulties, academic or otherwise. I really like the balance between lectures and small group work. We have one designated team for most of our assignments so it is easy to get really close with each other and to get tasks accomplished because you figure out how to work well together. But we also have other groups for different activities like labs or clinical skills. This allows people to meet everyone and learn from each other's experiences, which is sometimes better than just learning straight from a lecturer.
-Noah Liberman, 2021
My favourite part of studying Medicine at Queen's is my classmates! I think most people understand that a school-life balance is important for wellbeing, but what I think is unique to Queen's is that the majority of my classmates actually put this understanding into practice, and don't allow school to consume their life. We are a close-knit group who look out for one another as we navigate the medical curriculum together. So far this has made for a fun first year and I'm excited to grow with my QMed family over the next four years and beyond into our careers as medical professionals.
-Trevor Robinson, 2021
Moving away from my home city of Vancouver, I was a little nervous about having to uproot my life to different part of Canada. Being a smaller class, QMed has become a family away from home. Everyone here is friendly, ambition, and just willing to chill when you have free time. Whether it be study sessions, social outings, or just to sit down and chat, there's always something you can look forward too.
-Justin Dirk, 2021
The community at Queen's is amazing and so much more than you bargain for. The small class size contributes a lot to the close-knit feel of being a part of the QMed family. The medical community as a whole is very nurturing at Queen's. There are so many opportunities to be tutored and mentored by senior students, residents and staff. Queens has so much history but is also evolving in so many new and exciting ways. There's a lot of pride associated with Queen's and it helps make you feel like you're a part of something great. No one gets left behind at Queen's because support is never out of reach.
-Jerome Satkunam, 2020
You'll probably hear this from everyone you ask, but by far the thing I love the most about QMED is the community. Coming straight out of Toronto, it was a huge culture shock to be able know every classmate by name. Furthermore, the professors, physicians and mentors are all very approachable and very involved in our medical education, both in the classroom and the clinic. Even the administration team here at Queen's is outstanding when it comes to making us know that they're listening and doing everything they can to give us the best experience we can in QMED. If being in a great medical school isn't enough to convince you to come to Queen's, the community will!
-Gordon Yao, 2020
I thought I came from a big family, but I sure was wrong. When you meet 99 new people who share so many interests, you wonder how you could have been so lucky to find a whole other, way larger, family. I’m not too sure how Queen’s does it, but they manage to bring together 100 people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, stick them together in a class, and end up with the happiest, closest-knit group of students I have ever known. Everyone looks out for each other, no one is left behind, and everyone learns for each other. Queen’s has a great method of teaching that taps into everyone’s individual strengths, be it qualities such as leadership, organization, or empathy, or specific subjects such as anatomy, physiology, or pharmacology. The relatively small class size, combined with the fact that all 100 of us learn together on the same campus, creates a learning environment that is comfortable and cohesive. The faculty are always available for discussion and are invested in our learning not only in the classroom, but also in the hospital or clinic during observerships or if we are interested in research pursuits. We’re all in it together, and it really shows.
-Edrea Khong, 2020
You’ll hear everyone talk about it at the interview weekend but the community is unreal. I know all 99 of my classmates and over half of the second year class. Coming from Alberta, I knew nobody when I chose to come to Queen’s and the people I’ve met here have become my solid friends. I don’t feel like my classmates are my competitors but rather they’re people I can collaborate with. We all bring our strengths and knowledge to the table to build each other up. In my first year alone I’ve been involved with many fitness activities and fun extra-curriculars, which I didn’t do in undergrad because of the overriding pressure to get a high GPA. Overall, I haven’t ever had so much fun in an academic year than I have had here! We’re also the only medical school with a Population and Global Health Course and we started the CFMS Wellness challenge which has been adopted by all medical schools across Canada now so that’s pretty rad.
-Ramita Verma, 2020
How is going to school in the City of Kingston?
The city of Kingston is so vibrant and full of culture, and I'm constantly finding new things to explore. Whether it's the beautiful lakeside parks, historic downtown buildings, or the numerous local restaurants and shops, Kingston has something for everyone. The best part of living here is the sense of community. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and it's easy to get involved with clubs and organizations. The city also offers plenty of opportunities for learning, with local libraries and museums, as well as events and workshops. Plus, Kingston is a great base for exploring the surrounding area, from the Thousand Islands to the Rideau Canal.
- David Vaz, 2026
Being a med student in Kingston is great! Kingston is a perfect mix that has something for everyone. There is a cute downtown area, with fun shops to browse along Princess Street and a bunch of restaurants to try from. On the other hand, Kingston has a lot of beautiful nature to offer. Being by the water means beautiful sunsets every evening and lots of opportunities to venture out and explore -- which has been key during the pandemic!
- Rebecca Ng, 2024
I could not think of a better city to study medicine! Growing up in a small town, I really enjoy the laid back lifestyle Kingston has to offer. You never have to worry about traffic, and you can pretty much go anywhere in less than a 10-minute walk. I also love how I can always run into my friends and classmates when I go downtown or to the store because it is a nice reminder that you will never be alone in Kingston.
- Katrina Jaszkul, 2024
Being from Ottawa, a relatively larger city, I would say that I really like the smaller size of Kingston. Everything is basically within walking distance, and I feel the fact that the medical school building is located right beside Lake Ontario offers a picturesque backdrop for my med school experience. As Kingston is a university town, there are many chances to meet friends in class and other students as well throughout the 4 years you will be here, and you will likely get to know individual patients on a more personal level here compared to larger cities. Everything I feel is just so close-knit and accessible, which is why I really love being at Queen’s and going to medical school in Kingston.
- Peter Lee, 2024
Have you ever dreamed of living minutes from the water and going for sunrise jogs along the water? If so, Kingston is THE city to study in. One of my favourite parts of living here is how accessible outdoor activities are. Especially when schoolwork gets busy, it’s so refreshing to be able to step outside between classes/meetings and have a beautiful view of the lake and city without travelling far at all. There's also no shortage of friends to enjoy these activities with, as a good chunk of the class lives within a 15-minute walking distance of the School of Medicine Building. Work-life balance is the name of the game in QMed.
- Edward Cui, 2024
Kingston is beautiful! Having grown up in a smaller city than Kingston and going to Waterloo for my undergrad, I find that Kingston has the perfect mix of things to do when you need a break from school while maintaining that "small town" feel. The downtown is great for shopping, eating out (there are loads of unique restaurants and bars), and attending a variety of community events. There is also a farmers' market that runs through the summer and fall, and an outdoor skating rink in the winter - both of these are literally just a few minutes' walk from my apartment. Also, the waterfront is super close to campus/where most of us live and is definitely a spot to take advantage of, especially if you enjoy running by the water or having picnics!
-Nicole Asztalos, 2021
I feel so fortunate to be studying in a city as beautiful as Kingston. On my afternoons off, I love to walk the ten minutes from campus to Downtown Kingston to study in a quaint, local cafe. Often, this walk extends over ten minutes, as it is nearly impossible to walk anywhere without stopping to chat with a friendly, familiar face, or to resist taking the "scenic route" by the Lake Ontario waterfront. As a wonderful paradox, in addition to having this "small town" feel, Kingston has a "big city" array of activities and events throughout the year. From summer paddle-boarding on Lake Ontario and winter skating at City Hall, to year-round farmers' markets and concerts, Kingston has it all, and all within walking distance or within a short bus ride or drive. I cannot imagine going to school in a better place than Kingston!
-Sarah Wong, 2021
Kingston is beautiful. I did my undergrad at Queen's and couldn't be happier to be back here for 4 more years. One of the big things that really drew me to Queen's 4 years ago is the lake. It's great to be able to go swimming in a lake during the summer months or even early September. Queen's is also almost right in the downtown core of the city, so anything you could ever need (shopping, restaurants, etc) is super convenient and easy to get to. This includes all of your classmates and friends, because everybody lives within a 10 minute walk from campus, and each other, and from the hospitals where we're all going to be spending a lot of time.
-Noah Liberman, 2021
Kingston is an amazing university city. I did my undergrad studies here as well, so I have been very fortunate to have spent a few years in Kingston. A lot of my friends who come from larger cities fall in love with the “small town” feel, while those from small towns immediately feel like they are at home. It really is a student city, and you will find yourself running into familiar faces all over the place. While the winters here tend to be cold, it’s really worth toughing it out if you enjoy outdoor winter sports, especially skating. The City does a fantastic job of maintaining many outdoor skating rinks through the winter, and one of my favourite things to do is of play an absurd amount of outdoor hockey with friends followed by hot chocolate and snacks at one of the lovely local cafes. In the summer, Kingston becomes a bit of a tourist attraction, and for good reason. The weather is beautiful, we are right on the lake, and most places you want to hang out at are within walking distance. Kingston has long been known as the freshwater sailing capital of the world, and many other water sports like kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding are easy to try and enjoy. Year-round, Kingston has a great arts scene, with theatre, concerts, ballets, art exhibitions, and more. Most of all, Kingstonians really love the med students and are happy to share their stories with you and help you learn in any way they can. The combination of small town feel with athletic and artistic appeal makes Kingston a fantastic and welcoming city to go to school in.
-Edrea Khong, 2020
Kingston is a great city for medical school. The facilities at Queen's are great. I find Kingston offers everything I need. Nothing is ever more than a ten minute walk away. It's a big enough medical centre that you will be exposed to a variety of cases and presentations to help in your learning. But it's still small enough that many learning opportunities are easily accessible to us as students.
-Jerome Satkunam, 2020
What kinds of things do you do outside of class at Queen's?
There are so many things to do outside of class at Queen’s. As you might have already heard, the QMed community is strong! There are many social events throughout the year within the class and across all years. So far, we’ve had everything from a Halloween party to pumpkin smashing, cookie decorating and hikes near Kingston so there is something for everyone! We also take great pride in our intramural teams and interest groups that allow students to engage in the things they enjoy outside of class. There are truly so many ways to stay engaged outside of class within the QMed community and across campus. Something I’ve really been enjoying is going to Zumba classes at the Queen’s gym with friends!
- Priyanjili Sharma, 2026
Outside of class time at Queens you can do a variety of different things! If playing sports is something that you enjoy, you can often times continue playing your sport. If you recharge by being outside, there are loads of amazing trails to hike, lakes to swim in, and of course dogs to pat that you will pass along during your travels. If you fancy painting, you can check out both city-based and QMED-based paint nights. There’s also rumor that there is a pretty high bragging-rights poker tournament that can sometimes happen between faculty and students. The QMED community is also made up of many individuals with a vast array of interests, so finding a buddy to pursue your hobbies with can be quite easy to do.
- Christine Taylor-Cash, 2024
No matter the time of the year, there is always something to do! You can visit one of the nearby parks in the summer to go for a walk or a hike. In the winter, you can go skating on Lake Ontario! Not to mention, Kingston has the most restaurants per capita in Canada, so there is an endless selection of new places to eat.
- Katrina Jaszkul, 2024
There really is something for everyone here at Queen’s. I myself am a bit of a jack-of-all-trades in the things I do outside of school, in that I enjoy sports, the outdoors, food, volunteering, and music. I love how I can find all of these things within walking distance in and around downtown Kingston. I often go on runs by Lake Ontario, can be seen trying one of the 100s of restaurants along Princess St., volunteering with student organizations in community health programs, and on surrounding hikes and skating during the winter. I’ve never found myself really bored in this city as there is always something going on that you can do or something new to try, not to mention friends to do those activities with!
- Peter Lee, 2024
I work as a lifeguard at the Queen's ARC pool. I also play varsity ultimate frisbee, which keeps me super busy during the fall semester when I'm on the field every night, but it quiets down in the winter semester with just a few practices every week. I play on 3 different intramural teams, which is more intramural than I ever did in undergrad at Queen's. I also volunteer a bit with groups that I was a part of during my undergrad, like for example I used to always help with the undergrad open houses for incoming grade 12 students and I took the opportunity to help out with those events again this fall.
-Noah Liberman, 2021
I love that Kingston is conveniently located between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. These big cities and so much more are within a short distance, which makes weekend getaways possible and a great opportunity to bond with your classmates. Kingston itself offers so many things to do. With downtown being so close, there's a lot of great restaurants and activities that are not far out of reach.
-Jerome Satkunam, 2020
There are so many extracurricular opportunities at Queen's. You'll find people here with all sorts of interests, from sports to history, photography to choir. Whatever you're interested in, you'll definitely find someone else who's just as interested or others who are excited to try something new with you! Best of all, the faculty really tries to promote a healthy balance between studying and promoting wellness by giving us the time to do what we want to outside of class! If there's something you're interested in doing, Queen's has something for you!
-Gordon Yao, 2020
A lot of my extracurricular activities tend to be athletics-related, such as working out at the campus gym or going for a beautifully scenic run. I play badminton and hockey, figure skate, dragon boat, and run long distance races. Sometimes in the warmer weather my friends and I will rent kayaks or paddle boards and go for a little adventure, and I also take dance classes. There are plenty of ways to get involved at school as well, from volunteer opportunities in the community, to class council, to the student-run medical journal, to a staggering number of interest groups which are all super exciting. I do enjoy cooking and baking to de-stress, so my classmates are the occasional beneficiaries of that. I have two dogs back at home and have had them here in Kingston with me for a couple of weeks here and there, so that takes up some of my time as well. I am now taking care of one of them indefinitely, which I have really enjoyed. Yes, you have time to take care of a pet if you try hard and stay organized, and yes, they will be loved by your classmates more than you are (but that’s okay!). There are tons of things to do here outside of class, so the real trick is making sure you keep some time for yourself!
-Edrea Khong, 2020
What advice do you have for the interviewees about their upcoming Queen's interviews?
If I could give any advice to interviewees, I would say to “just be yourself.” I know this sounds extremely cliché, but there’s a very real reason you’ve made it as far as you have in the application process. The hard work you’ve spent studying, writing the MCAT, and juggling extracurricular activities have all given you this amazing opportunity. Now it’s time to take a deep breath, relax, and just show what an amazing person you are. Let those conducting the interviews see how bright you shine and the potential you have to become an amazing physician one day. Hopefully I get the chance to meet you next year!
- Michael Cole, 2026
I know it’s cheesy and has probably been said a million times but… relax and be yourself! You were invited for an interview because Queen’s wants to get to know the real awesome you! I also suggest practicing answering questions before the interview (but try not to over-rehearse). Besides helping you figure out how to approach questions in a limited amount of time, practice can also make you feel more prepared and confident on the day of. Additionally, on interview day, don’t dwell on stumbles you made at past stations. The great thing about an MMI is you only see each interviewer once! Thinking about mistakes you made can be distracting, and the interviewer might not have even noticed these “mistakes” (in fact, I was convinced I bombed my interview but here I am). Last but not least - treat yourself afterward! Getting an interview at any Canadian medical school is a HUGE feat and you should be very proud of yourself!
- Olivia Mendoza, 2024
Everyone is telling you to “relax”, “just be yourself”, and “be genuine”—which is true–but how do you do that during the interview? How did Lebron James come back 1-3 against the Golden State Warriors to win the 2016 NBA Championship? The answer is to cultivate your mindfulness and zen. When you are mindful of your emotions and anxious thoughts you can acknowledge them and let them go. Realize that it is normal to be nervous and everyone is feeling the same way. Once you control your nerves you will be able to “be yourself”, think more laterally, and connect with the interviewers. You got this!
- Joshua Lowe, 2024
My personal advice for interviewees is to spend some time reflecting on your journey, values, and future goals. Like all other skills, interviewing can be improved through preparation. Spend some time thinking about who you are as a person and why you are pursuing the field of medicine, whether it's in the shower, brushing your teeth, washing the dishes, etc. If you can articulate your story to others, it will help people understand your perspectives and motivations. On the day of the interview, take a deep breath and just do your best. Be genuine and be kind to yourself. Best of luck and hope to see you around Kingston! :)
- Sarah Liu, 2024
First of all, you all should be very proud of yourselves for making this far already, receiving an interview is a huge step and accomplishment in your journey to medical school! Not to mention you did so during the pandemic. One piece of advice I would have for the interview is to not worry too much about the little things. It will be natural for you to want your answers to be as perfect as possible, your outfit to be as pristine as possible, and everything to go right, but I know that for most people in medical school at Queen’s, rarely did this ever happen. Therefore, I would encourage you to embrace this opportunity as something fun and enjoyable, which will make the experience so much less stressful. I wish you all the best, and I hope to see many of you at Queen’s in the future!
- Peter Lee, 2024
Preparing for interviews is such an incredible opportunity for self-reflection and self-discovery. Enjoy this process and confidently embrace every aspect that makes you who you are. Believing in yourself and your unique abilities and trajectories is a great way to get other people to believe in you as a candidate. Some technical advice regarding online interviews: make sure that you test the online platforms and whatever devices you will be using. I could not get my audio to work for the first 5 minutes of my interview. It is a funny story when I look back, but it was an unnecessary stressor at the moment.
- Maria Fernanda Huicochea Muñoz, 2024
First off, congratulations on receiving an interview at Queen’s - an incredible accomplishment in itself!! Here are a few pearls, in my experience, from being in your shoes not too long ago: 1) reading over your ABS before the interview helps remind you of (and feel confident in) the things that matter most/you’re most passionate about!! 2) be yourself- you clearly have a TON to offer in terms of both your experiences and qualities, and that’s the kind of authenticity the interviewers ultimately want to see. 3) trust that the interview went better than you think it did- everyone can feel uneasy and begin second guessing themselves the moment they leave, and that’s completely natural!! 4) know that every MMI station is a fresh start- seriously don’t sweat any hiccups along the way (there were certainly hiccups for me). 5) have fun with it!! this is an amazing learning opportunity no matter the outcome & you should feel so SO proud!! Excited to hopefully welcome you to the QMed community next year. :)
- Aceel Hawa, 2024
BE YOURSELF. Like... actually. It's that easy. They want to see that you're a real person with hobbies, interests, and personality and that you can make sensible decisions and communicate with other people. Please don't just memorize responses to standard questions and recite them in your interview. This often makes people come across as lacking communication and interpersonal skills.
-Trevor Robinson, 2021
Everyone says it, it sounds like a broken record, but there's a reason for it. Just have fun at the interviews. Enjoy the extra things offered, meet some new people, and go into with a smile. When you're having fun, it shows, not only in your interactions with others, but also in the answers you give during the interview itself, so let yourself shine!
-Justin Dirk, 2021
Usually when you're really focused and stressed in a situation like this, it can be hard to loosen up and enjoy yourself. But the interview weekend is meant to be a positive experience and you'll go far if you can relax a bit and let your personality shine. I know, I know - easier said than done! But my advice is to be genuine, partake in as many of the awesome activities and social events you can, and ask a lot of questions. Seriously ask us anything!
-Jerome Satkunam, 2020
If you feel like you did poorly in the interview...RELAX. When I did my Queen's interview, I thought I failed. I spent so much time thinking about what I COULD have said, and ultimate gave up on the idea that I would be accepted to QMED. But the reality is, after the interview is done, no degree of worrying will change the outcome - just learn from your mistakes and reinforce your strengths - if you make it, great! If you don't, it's not the end of the world; you can always try again. Just relax and celebrate life once your interview is over!
-Gordon Yao, 2020
1) Prepare for MMIs. You can’t anticipate specific questions, but you can get used to MMI formats and get comfortable speaking your thought process out loud. You’ll feel a lot better once you know you can answer anything they throw at you.
2) Be honest in all of your interviews. Don’t be afraid to ask questions too – that’s the only way you can find out the answers!
3) Enjoy yourself! Go to the dinner and the mixer. A lot of people I met during interview weekend are in the class and on the first day it was great to see a familiar face. I would say that the dinner and mixer give you a great idea of the friendly culture at Queen’s too.
- Rebecca Lys, 2019
What do you like about the MD/PhD program?
I love being in the MD/PhD program. The research environment at Queen's is a little more relaxed than other environments. Everyone is very collaborative and always willing to help.
-Anonymous MD/PhD Student
I love it! I can't imagine myself doing anything else. It has been challenging, certainly, and it is a huge commitment, but it is an engaging and exciting pathway with a lot of support along the way.
-Anonymous MD/PhD Student
What do you like about the MD/Family Medicine Program?
The tutors and mentors. We have so many opportunities to learn with and from family doctors who are currently practicing, through settings such as our small group discussions, clinical skills, half day family medicine clinical placements, and our additional observerships.
-Anonymous MD/FM Student
I like the tight knit community! I like how the professors are super involved -- they want to make sure we learn stuff that we can apply to our future practice. I enjoy the hands-on experience through half day family medicine placements because it gives me opportunities to apply what I learned in class, and understand why I'm learning what I'm learning.
-Anonymous MD/FM Student
