📣 Hello everyone!!

SSSM Northern is excited to host a Zoom session for MD4s, featuring interns from various hospitals who will be sharing their experiences. We’ve invited interns from Northern, RMH, St. Vincent’s, Alfred, and Austin 😲

This will be a great opportunity to ask any burning questions in a relaxed and supportive space. While many internship talks focus on work culture and what to consider when ranking preferences, it can be difficult to understand what that actually looks like in practice.

We thought it would be helpful to hear directly from students who have been in your shoes about how they made their decisions and what their experiences have been like🫂

📅 9th April
⏰ 6 - 7:30PM
🙋❓DROP YOUR QUESTIONS BELOW for us to forward it to our lovely speakers:
