Alpha Alberta Chapter
Chapter Initiatives
 
Our chapter is a very active one. Here are some of our initiatives:
 
Speaker Series
 
Our student-led chapter organizes several talks a year for students and faculty. While the majority of these talks deal with medicine, some general interest talks intended to promote diversity in medical education. A schedule of talks is shown on the next page.
 
Medicine as a Career Project
 
As of 2005, our chapter has been organizing medical student expeditions to local secondary schools in order to promote medicine as a career. Students are exposed to what a career in medicine entails and how to get into medical school. There are also some fun learning activities as well. If you would like more information on the Medicine as a Career Project, or you would like University of Alberta students to visit a school in your area please feel free to contact us.
