HamnahClass of 2025 Languages: English, French, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic (novice) My name is Hamnah Majeed and I grew up in Mississauga, Ontario. I have a multidisciplinary academic background in both natural sciences and social sciences. I am also passionate about research, and I have published in The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet Planetary Health, The Lancet Global Health, Palgrave Communications (Nature), ACS Earth and Space Chemistry, and Government Ministry Report. My interest in medicine dates to my childhood days where I was fascinated by the complexities of the human body. This interest solidified when my parents developed chronic conditions, and I became involved in their care. I not only learned how a multitude of factors can impact health (e.g., economic, social), but also the importance of physician-patient interactions and evidence-based care. When I am not studying or volunteering, you can find me playing basketball, traveling, reading, writing, and trying different desserts at cafes! Despite the other choices I had, coming to 缅北强奸 to study medicine was a no-brainer; not only is 缅北强奸 a top medical school, but it is also home to a diverse community of intellects and strives to help students become the very best physician possible. I am passionate about improving the health of Canadians, and I hope to inspire and be part of the next generation of extraordinary physicians. |

SidClass of 2025 Languages: English, French, Bengali, Urdu, Hindi (casual) My name is Sid, and it is an honour to serve as an ambassador for the class of 2025. My favourite pass time is playing basketball. I also really enjoy cooking in my spare time. My favourite dish to make is (spicy) Lasagna. My journey to 缅北强奸 medicine has been quite untraditional. I was born in Bangladesh but spent the majority of my childhood in Detroit and N.Y.C. I then moved to Montreal and started Adult Ed, as I have never attended a traditional high school. Prior to being admitted, I worked as an administrative coordinator at the MGH ER and the GLEN site (since its opening in 2015). While working at the MUHC hospitals, I quickly realized that many of the world-class physicians and surgeons are here. I was extremely fortunate to witness them save lives and provide the 鈥渂est care for life鈥� everyday. This is one of the many reasons why I wanted to pursue my medical education here at 缅北强奸. Additionally, the Faulty of Medicine鈥檚 emphasis on equity, diversity, and outreach, has made it my dream to be here. 缅北强奸 is a world-renowned university, and meeting some of the most accomplished and diverse students here made me realize how privileged I am for pursuing my medical education alongside these remarkable colleagues and friends. Finally, the tremendous amount of support, guidance, and collegiality from my peers, senior students, and the faculty confirms that I have made the right choice. Therefore, it is encouraging to know that I will be supported all along this challenging yet exciting journey to be the person that I have always dreamt to be. Being at 缅北强奸 is like being at home for me. As a student ambassador, I look forward to helping you call 缅北强奸 home. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me so that I can share some of these amazing experiences and my journey to 缅北强奸 Medicine with you! |

SarahClass of 2025 Languages: French, English, Arabic Hello and welcome! Thank you for browsing around and exploring the many faces of 缅北强奸 Medicine! My name is Sarah, and I am a second-year medical student here at 缅北强奸. I am honored to be a student ambassador! A little about me - in my free time when I鈥檓 not with friends or family or trying new recipes, I love to sing! In undergrad, I ran original musicals every year with a philanthropic student-run club. During that time, I also developed a passion for education from being an academic mentor with the faculty of health sciences and keeping busy as the VP academics of the nursing student association. I continue this trend today by being the VP of Medical Education of the Medical Student Society (MSS) and by holding various exciting positions in student-run initiatives and medical education research! Growing up, I never really entertained the idea of medical school until much later in my schooling as I always thought it was out of reach. My trajectory is slightly unconventional, but I wouldn鈥檛 change a thing. My passion for the medical field was sparked as a nursing student. It grew stronger and unshakeable year to year as I got more exposure to the health care field. Being on the front line during the pandemic as part of the nursing team was what solidified my decision to fully delve into medicine. If you are reading this, you are probably entertaining the idea of applying to medicine here at 缅北强奸. I can鈥檛 recommend it enough! 缅北强奸 medicine is the epitome of excellence. From its rich history to its curriculum, to its staff, to its students, its facilities, its research, and to its impact on the world, the MDCM program is unbeatable. Student life is rich and rewarding like none other. Being a part of such a supportive and diverse community is a true honor and an exceptional opportunity to flourish, and all of that in my beautiful home province of Qu茅bec. You are welcome here and your story is special - feel free to contact me anytime to simply chat, if you have any questions or would like advice. I would love to hear about your journey toward medicine, and what sparked your flame! |

In my spare time, you can either find me playing piano, running, binging tv shows/movies, or reading. I've wanted to become a doctor since high school when I realized medicine is a perfect balance between humanities and sciences while being in a field that fosters lifelong learning. Coming directly from CEGEP, I know from personal experience how the admission process can be intimidating so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! 缅北强奸's medical program is renowned for the diversity of its student body, the expertise of the teaching personnel and the wide variety of research opportunities. All these factors make studying medicine at 缅北强奸 a unique and enriching experience. |

RosalieClass of 2025 Languages: English, French My name is Rosalie. I鈥檓 originally from Quebec City but moved to Montreal to pursue my studies in English. I have a master's degree in Physical Therapy from 缅北强奸 and worked in acute care throughout COVID. Working alongside an interdisciplinary team allowed me to experience a true patient-centered approach and instigated a fire in me to pursue my studies in medicine. I love the human body and its intricacies almost as much as I love a good healthcare-patient relationship and that is what I strive for in becoming a doctor. I am so happy to continue being part of the 缅北强奸 family as I continue along in this new journey to becoming a doctor. Looking forward to helping you in your journey as well! |

I was born and raised in Montreal, but I grew up surrounded by my mother's Mexican culture and by Montreal's Italian community. From a very young age, I was encouraged to learn languages, to nurture my love for dance and to read as many books as I wanted. To me, medicine has always been a discipline that harmonizes science with art, which is why I find it so appealing and fulfilling. 缅北强奸's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is a place where science and art go hand in hand, where compassion and scientific knowledge are united. |

SiaClass of 2025 Languages: English, French (Casual), Farsi (Novice) My name is Sia and I am a second year medical student. I grew up around Canada and have lived in 4 different provinces (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Manitoba). Having moved so often, I love meeting all types of people and always enjoy hearing everyone's stories and backgrounds as well as getting involved in my community. I love the great outdoors and exploring the city (I'm always out on a walk or a bike ride), specifically, trying to find little hidden gems around Montreal (metaphorically). I appreciate the arts and am always looking to learn more about new artists (whether music/fine arts/film or any other mediums).

AmandaClass of 2025 Languages: English, French, Italian (Novice) My name is Amanda, and I鈥檓 a 2nd year medical student at the Montreal Campus. I鈥檓 looking forward to meeting with you and helping out where I can! Before medical school, I completed the Med-P program (the direct stream from CEGEP). Prior to that, I studied at Marianopolis College. Within medicine I have many interests, namely Genetics, Internal Medicine and Psychiatry 鈥� but I still have time to decide! Outside of Academics, I鈥檝e been involved in Student Government both during my Med-P years, and during my two years of medicine. In Med-P and Med-1, I was the Academic Representative of my year, helping students succeed by preparing resources for them and advocating for them. I鈥檓 currently the Executive President of the Medical Student鈥檚 Society, meaning I represent all four years of medicine in my role. I鈥檓 also involved in the MSS MUSIC Club, specifically in the 鈥淢usic in the Wards鈥� project, which aims to promote music within the hospital for patients. Outside of school, I work part-time at a pharmacy, as a tutor and as a pianist for a choir at a residence. Music and government/advocacy work is something I love, and I try to fuel those passions as much as I can. Recreationally, I take kickboxing lessons (I just started in September) and play soccer as intramurals! What can I help you with? I think that I鈥檇 be a good person to chat about finding an adequate school-life balance, what various opportunities are at 缅北强奸. I could also help explain the transition between Med-P and Med-1, how to adjust to such a heavy curriculum. I also currently live in Vaudreuil, and my commute is by public transit. My trip is often 3h00/30 per day, as my commute one way is between 1h30/45. If you are also living off island or far, I can speak to you about that experience. Best of luck, and I鈥檇 encourage you to reach out for anything! |

DominiqueClass of 2025 Languages: English, French, Romanian, German Hi! My name is Dominique, and I am a third-year medical student (M3) studying at 缅北强奸.

It鈥檚 during my time volunteering that I had my first patient encounter and realized my passion for healthcare.

厂迟茅辫丑补苍颈别Class of 2025 Languages: English, French Hello!! Welcome to 缅北强奸. My name is Stephanie, I am a 4th-year medical student. I was born and grew up in Cameroon (central Africa). I joined 缅北强奸 as an international medical graduate. I did my first medical studies in Ivory Coast (West Africa). For four years, I worked as a general practitioner in a third level rural hospital with missionaries鈥� doctors from USA, Australia etc鈥hen, over a year I oversaw the pediatric ward before working under the ministry of public health as a clinician to promote a better quality of care in remote regions. I am particularly sensible to the effect of cultural differences in the quality of care; may be because I grew up, studied and now lives in different setting. That is why beside my medical studies I am reading and participating in seminaries related to the topic (WHO school of migrant and refugee health, 缅北强奸 summer institute etc..). While applying for a MDMC2 program, in fact I only applied at 缅北强奸 (LoL). Why? First, it remains the top one in Qc, in term of quality of teaching with a lot of exposure, a range of subspecialities with medicine at the cutting edge of technology and an amazing simulation center. Also, we have a solid mentorship program, and a great team of wellness and carrier advisor. If because you are an international medical graduate, a migrant or because of your cultural background you feel a kind, feel free to contact me. We can chat on how you could navigate in a university which provides more than student usually knows, while eating some pastry with tea 馃槉. |

JennyClass of 2025 Languages: English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Shanghainese My name is Jenny, and I was born and raised here in Montreal. I am a huge enthusiast of music, cinema, and specialty coffee, but also of the great outdoors, having hiked around the country and always biking my way around the city (when the weather permits it.) I also love to practice yoga/pilates and improvise silly songs over jam sessions with friends. Passionate about too many subjects 鈥� from natural sciences to philosophy, performance arts to literature 鈥� it was initially challenging for me to picture a career path that would make me feel fulfilled. Luckily, I discovered how medicine offers an eclectic mix of practices, and its pragmatic yet sensitive profile certainly charmed me into applying! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I am more than happy to help! |

WassimClass of 2025 Languages: English, French, Arabic My name is Wassim, and I am a fourth-year medical student at 缅北强奸鈥檚 Outaouais campus. I was born and raised in the Gatineau/Ottawa region, where I completed most of my education. I later moved to Montreal to pursue a DEC in Health Sciences at College Jean-de-Br茅beuf, after which I was thrilled to return to my hometown to continue my medical education. Throughout my studies, I have developed a strong passion for promoting medical education and supporting my peers in achieving their academic goals. Outside of medicine, I am deeply passionate about sports, particularly martial arts, boxing, football, and weightlifting. Given my interest in sports, I have participated in several research projects focused on rehabilitation and musculoskeletal health. I believe that 缅北强奸鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine fosters an environment where everyone can develop their passions and interests. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to reach out! |

NathashaClass of 2025 Languages: English, French Hello hello! I am Natasha (she/they), one of the Med3s doing 缅北强奸's new clerkship program in Val d'Or this year. That means that I'm in this wonderful rural setting for the entire year and have the privilege of learning everything everyone in Montreal learns - but in a much smaller, one-on-one setting, learning from family doctors and specialists. Plus, I get to live near lakes & forests & endless possibilities for adventure. As someone who aims to practice rural medicine and who loves - well, who needs - to be outdoors as much as possible, it's amazing to be a part of the first cohort here! Other than medicine and being outside (running, hiking, cross-country skiing, etc.), I love to host friends for elaborate feasts/brunches/late-night snacks, bake for my residents & co-interns, and to crochet (my current project is making hats for all of my friends' cats). As someone who is both queer and chronically ill, I am also drawn to advocacy work- because we have a long way to go before anything, especially medicine, is truly equitable for all. The projects I am currently involved in relate to trans experiences of healthcare at 缅北强奸, opioid/drug decriminalization, and disability education in medicine. This draw towards advocacy also spills into my research work, which primarily focuses on marginalized experiences of perinatal care & related public health/policy applications. Writing this little intro is a bit strange for me- perhaps because, as someone who fell into medicine more or less accidentally, I never did all that much research into med school. While I am very, very thankful to have ended up where I have, with the awesome cohort and the wonderful teachers and the fascinating field this is, things would have been much smoother had I actually talked to someone about all of it before jumping in headfirst. If you'd like to chat, I'd love to be that person for you- and everyone else on this page would love to be, too! |

When not spending time in the hospital as a clerk, I love to bake and, of course, enjoy indulging in it too. Planning weekend getaways nearby to enjoy the great outdoors: hiking, kayaking, cross-country skiing, or the spa is always a good idea! Please don鈥檛 hesitate to reach out for any guidance or support. It would be my pleasure to be part of your journey! 缅北强奸鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is not only situated on a beautiful campus but also part of a very multicultural city.

What sets 缅北强奸 Medicine apart is its blend of academic rigor and a diverse, supportive community.

JonathanClass of 2025 Languages: English, French, Tagalog (beginner) Hi my name is Jonathan Lebeau and I am a third year medical student at the Montreal campus. I come all the way from Houston, TX. I have a master鈥檚 degree in public health from Universit茅 de Paris Descartes and worked at lululemon selling leggings in Paris. When I am not being a health care hero (lol), one can find me browsing March茅 Jean Talon, grabbing a drink with friends, or chilling in one of the city鈥檚 many parks.
