Meet Katherine Steckham (University of Toronto), our student of the month for February 2016!
Katherine isn’t one to seek the spotlight, and as a result very few people are aware of the many improvements she has orchestrated this year in her various extracurricular roles.
Out of a number of great nominations, Justin Lam, a 2nd year UofT medical student, has been selected as the OMSA Medical Student of February 2015.
Dr. Shannon Arntfield is an obstetrician/gynecologist and assistant professor at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University in London, Ontario. She is the founder and director of the Narrative Medicine Initiative at Western.
The often exhausting grind of clerkship -- attempting to obtain those decisive yet elusive reference letters while experiencing the steep learning curve is extremely trying. In this context, it's easy to lose sight of the patient's real needs, but Anna, a third year student from UofT, never seemed to lose sight of what matters most.
Advocate, actor, comedian and author Rob Hawke led a Dynamic Speaking for Leadership workshop for students in the Leadership in Medicine Elective (LiME) on February 4.
Hawke — who is an alumnus of Second City — is a respected patient advocate who draws upon his own experience as a cancer patient. His one-man show, "Norm versus Cancer: A Terminally Funny One Man Show," was nominated for a 2011 Canadian Comedy Award.
