Details:

McGill International Medical Graduates (residents and fellows) are invited to attend our Connect & Learn Series, which consists of 3 confidential group meetings interspersed throughout the year. It is an excellent opportunity for IMGs to connect and discuss their unique experiences and challenges of residency/fellowship in a new country, culture, educational system, and health-care system; exchange ideas; and obtain tools to more effectively navigate their academic and personal lives.

Each group meeting will have a dedicated theme. A guest speaker, such as a senior or former IMG, may be invited to the meeting for the first 30’ to share their personal reflections on their own journey and offer their experience-based expertise in the form of perspective and practical tips. Upon the guest speaker’s departure, a group discussion inspired by the talk will be facilitated by the PGME Wellness Consultant, Dr. Martha Chamodraka. Snacks and refreshments will be served.
