Accordion For all: Ways, We Support You
We host this event in July annually. The purpose of this event is to offer a casual atmosphere for students interested in a career in medicine to connect with physicians practicing in Abbotsford. Bringing together medical students and physicians for an evening of networking and camaraderie. The event aimed to ease the stress of students who have left their home communities, especially those studying abroad or in different parts of Canada.
If you would like to attend the next Medical Student BBQ, please email Marz Hussain at mhussain@adofp.ca
In the first two weeks of July, the Division hosts a Meet & Greet between the
Year 1 Residents and our team. The Division provides an array of primary care supports and resources, particularly during your residency tenure. We would like to host an information session to explain how you can optimize your residency by learning about the types of support we offer.
If you would like more information about this event, please email Marz Hussain at mhussain@adofp.ca
In December of your R2 year, the Division will reach out to your cohort lead and coordinate a weekly time slot where your cohort comes to our Division Office and utilizes our boardroom to study for the upcoming exams. Your dinner for these study nights will be sponsored.
