February 2016 Newsletter
Commitment to the Community: Anatomy Day
What happens when you bring together passionate educators and students? At the Windsor Program, it’s led to the creation of Anatomy Day – a learning opportunity for high school students and a chance for Schulich Medicine students to give back to a community they now call home.
Celebrating our people
The spring months always bring with them opportunities for us to celebrate our people through the Awards of Excellence, CaRMS match day, and the annual convocation ceremony. I always look forward to these celebrations, and I encourage all of you to learn more about what’s coming up in the next few months and get involved.
Thinking ahead and embracing change
As we progress into 2016, new courses and rotations are certainly in full swing and change is in the air. The Learner Equity & Wellness office offers a great deal of support and has a number of resources to help you cope with change.
Event filled new-year
The start of the new-year has been an exciting time for all of us and we have been keeping busy with a myriad of events and activities.

A change for the better
Reflecting on his medical school experience, what’s most surprising to Hao Li is how much he has changed as a person. And while he credits the countless opportunities available to students as contributing to that change, he believes the strong interpersonal dynamics in his class and the School culture were major drivers for that change.
