Celebrating convocation with the Class of 2019
Spirit and pride filled the air at Schulich Medicine’s Convocation ceremony. The Medicine Class of 2019 walked across the stage, accepted their hoods and moved on to a new chapter in their lives.
Teaching roots run deep in the medicial profession
This year at convocation, one of our colleagues reminded the graduates and audience that the term "doctor" comes from the Latin "docere" or, to teach. We teach our colleagues, our patients, their families, friends and, of course, our students.
You’re off this summer, but we’re still here for you
