Family Medicine - Discovery Day x McGill U
JOIN US on December 2, 2020 as a workshop presenter and/or career panelist at our 16th Annual Discovery Day in Health Sciences event - for the first time VIRTUALLY. This is a partnership of the McGill Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, The Neuro and the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame (CMHF).
Offered at 14 sites across Canada, this event encourages young people to explore exciting career options in the health professions and sciences. We expect more than 200 students who are curious about medicine, nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy and science to attend online from Montreal and surrounding areas. Although we are adapting our delivery model this year, one thing remains the same – our mission to inspire youth to pursue careers in the health professions and sciences.
This modified, virtual half-day event comprises a keynote lecture, an interactive workshop and a career panel discussion. Â
