SPECIAL PROGRAMS
SOCIETY OF RURAL PHYSICIANS OF CANADA
The Society of Rural Physicians of Canada has launched the Rural Outreach and Mentorship Initiative to help rural high school students access one-on-one mentorship with medical students. If you are considering a career in medicine in the future, you may have questions about pathways to medicine, the application process, and how you can best prepare for applying to medical schools in Canada. In rural areas, it can be especially difficult and costly to find answers to these questions. By signing up for this free program, you will have access to panel discussions on medical school application topics, and you will be matched with a medical student for one-on-one mentorship!
