Spring is coming soon and we have some good news for you: the OMSA Wellness Retreat is less than a month away! This is a unique opportunity to relax, meet your peers from other Ontario medical schools and learn valuable tips and strategies for self-care as a future physician.
Relaxing is a foreign word to us as medical students, we are always on the go with our never ending 'to-do' lists, traveling for electives, traveling for conferences, increasingly more and more paperwork and always trying to do our best.
Waitlists seem to be the story of my life. Waitlisted for an earlier appointment, waitlisted to get into medical school, and of course, waitlisted for the Wellness retreat. But, when I finally received the offer via email the week of the retreat I didn't know what to make of it...
Considering that I don't respond very well to change and last minute plans, I was both excited and stressed.
