To all members of the Faculty of Medicine,
Yesterday, a special information session was held to give the Faculty community a detailed account of the progress made since the McIntyre Building fire last Friday, July 13. At the meeting, McGill’s VP (Administration and Finance) Yves Beauchamp confirmed that the McIntyre will remain closed until at least Wednesday a.m., July 25. The goal, however, is to reopen portions of the building starting as early as Wednesday. In the meantime, please note that current protocols remain in place.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Farhan Bhanji, MD, M.Sc. (Ed), FRCPC to the position of Director of Education for the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning (SCSIL), Faculty of Medicine at McGill University.
