Join us for Reunion Weekend

We look forward to welcoming you back to campus on Friday, September 30 – Sunday, October 2 as we unlock the past and focus on passion, purpose, professionalism and potential — key attributes that have driven Schulich Medicine & Dentistry alumni to success.

A variety of events and activities for all ages and interests will be taking place all weekend long. Learn more about some of the exciting events below, or visit the Reunion Weekend web page for a complete list of events.

Medical Assistance in Dying: Cross-Faculty Panel Discussion

Join us on Friday for a cross-faculty panel discussion on the topic of Medicine Assistance in Dying, featuring 2016 Alumni of Distinction Award recipient Dr. Jeff Blackmer, MD’95.

With the controversial assisted-dying Bill C-14 now law, this timely discussion will bring together a cross section of expert panelists from various fields and offer an opportunity to gain insight and perspective from a Schulich Medicine alumnus who is leading the way through the heavily-debated legislation.

This is a joint event between Schulich Medicine & Dentistry and Western Law and open to all community members, alumni, faculty, staff and students. Register online.

Community Lecture

On Saturday morning, we are presenting a series of short lectures focused on health topics and issues currently making headlines in the news today.

This informative three-part event will feature lectures from Schulich Medicine & Dentistry’s top researchers. There will be brief question and answer periods after each talk.

Don’t miss out on hearing Greta Bauer, PhD, Steven Laviolette, PhD, and Dr. Michael Rieder speak about their research on controversial topics such as transgender health and the effect of marijuana on diseases. Register online.

Dentistry Simulation Laboratory Tours

Join fellow alumni on a tour of the newly established Schulich Dentistry Simulation Laboratory.

The Simulation Laboratory is housed in over 5,000 square feet and features 60 work stations.
