Community Interest Groups

Community interest groups focus on the social aspects of medicine. From diversity in sexual orientation, race and religion to Canadian run chapters or simply engaging in fun hobbies like chess and art! Community interest groups provide a safe accepting space for all identities in medicine. Events held by our community interest groups allow our diverse student body to share their passions outside of the academic sphere. Be sure to keep up to date with our events by accessing our calendar in the above menu!
