SIMS is an SU sanctioned club run by approximately 10 University of Calgary undergraduate students. We are a well-established club, with over 350 student members. We hold events that are geared to promoting careers in medicine, medical research and the health care industry... but also just for FUN! Be sure to check out our News and Events page to stay UP-TO-DATE!
The Med student for a day program is an event put on by U of C med students each year. We give an opportunity for our participants to experience a day that is remarkably similar to one encountered by us, students, on a daily basis. With our classmates playing the role of preceptors, we will give participants a crash course in how to take a history from a patient, a few physical examination techniques, discuss ethical issues, and invite them to sit in on one of our actual lecture class.
This year, the event will take place on Thursday, December 3rd, beginning from 8:30am and lasting through mid-afternoon (the final time - not determined yet, but will be either 3:30 or 5:30pm). The entire day will take place at the Health Sciences Building (at the north end of the Foothills Hospital). Lunch will be provided for all our participants. A nominal fee of approximately $10 will apply.
If you or someone you know is interested in joining us, send your name and e-mail
address to uofcmedstudentforaday@hotmail.com to your attendance. The $10 fee will be
collected on the date of the event. Thanks for listening SIMS and hope you have a wonderful
experience.
Each year, executive members are chosen mostly from a pool of SIMS commissioners. Commissioners act as liaisons between the exec and the student body by advertising and publicizing various SIMS events. Feel free to contact any of the exec with any questions or concerns, or visit us during our Office hours. For who we are and how to contact us, check out our Contacts page!
