@sarah_kaip @toddkettner @SRPCanada @Johnrockdoc @SenatorRavalia @_nlma @srpc_residents @AlgonquinColleg Also, if other institutions are interested in building something similar, we would welcome the opportunity to help!

[Rural Pre-Medicine Program @SelkirkRPM]

@sarah_kaip @toddkettner @SRPCanada @Johnrockdoc @SenatorRavalia @_nlma @srpc_residents @AlgonquinColleg Thanks Sarah! We have definitely found that our students enthusiasm for a future in rural health increases the more they learn about the challenges facing rural communities as well as the exciting career opportunities available in rural settings.

[Rural Pre-Medicine Program @SelkirkRPM]

A great big thank you to Dr. Julie Nicol for her talk last night at the Mir Centre. She helped to paint an in depth picture of the personal and professional character of careers in rural family med, other rural general specialities, and in demand rural allied health professions.

[Rural Pre-Medicine Program @SelkirkRPM]

Many thanks to all of the community members who helped make possible our practice Multiple Mini Interview event today. The students very much appreciated the chance to sharpen their interviewing skills.
