 Predeparture training aims to assist all students pursuing electives in low-resource areas to uphold the principles of medicine, beginning with "first do no harm." Our mission is to maximize the benefit and minimize the harm to both students and the communities they serve by equipping them with what they need for appropriate electives through effective pre-departure training. Pre-Departure Training research positions are available.
 The Global Health Mentorship Project (GHMP) is a not-for-profit project that attempts to address the global health education shortcomings in our curriculum. The project links Canadian medical students and global health development professionals in mentor-mentee relationships. The pair communicates over email, the phone, or in person. In return for the time staff spend mentoring students, the mentees can volunteer their time to something that may add value to the mentor’s organization and contribute to their own experiential education, such as a literature review, survey, or research. The GHMP is the only project of its kind in Canada, and has received worldwide acclaim. |
