Family Medical Forum and the Walk for Docs

On Saturday, November 5th, I participated in the Walk for Docs of Tomorrow in Montreal as a student representative of the UWO Family Medicine Interest Group, along with fellow FMIG member Esther Chan.  This event is a 5 km walk that raises money for a scholarship fund that annually helps medical students with financial need pursue their education and a career in family medicine.  Thanks to the generosity of the UWO Family Medicine Faculty and the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry student body, we were able to raise an impressive $1143.36, greatly exceeding what we've fundraised in the past.

Thank you so much to everyone for your contributions and support!

The Section of Medical Students meeting and the rest of the weekend in Montreal were both lovely.  The following are a few pics that I took during my time in Montreal (sorry - only iPhone quality... forgot my camera!!)
