Who can attend? Basic Science Students at the Faculty of Medicine

We recognize that being a basic science student can be challenging at the best of times. The circumstances and the uncertainty of the past year have added to the stress levels of many, if not all.

Please join your peers as well as the Faculty Wellness Program counsellors, Monica Dobie and Cynthia Abraham, as we reflect and navigate some of the unique challenges of being student, especially during the past year. This is an opportunity to connect with others, learn skills relating to managing stress in various ways and hopefully have a bit of fun! We will ask for you to turn on your cameras.

Please contact the Faculty Wellness Program for more information
