There are a TON of events organized throughout the year at Queen's, and dull moments are few and far between for medical students. Here's just a small sample of some of the events here at Queen's Med:
Halloween 2024
The next big question on our mind after getting our acceptance into Queen's Medicine was going to be our year's OMA backpack colour. After months of speculation, the OMA released their decision. It is a Queen's tradition that the first year class come up with a class costume for Halloween that features their backpack colour. The class of 2028 went as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
MedGames
Definitely a highlight of the year! MedGames is an annual inter-med school athletics competition hosted in Quebec. A weekend of reppin' Queen's in many different sports and activities while attending some of the best parties with med students from across the country. For the 2024 games, 90/200 QMed students in first and second year attended, and in the past we've taken gold in tug of war and volleyball, and excelled in sports such as swimming, competitive dance, and squash.
AS Formal
The annual formal of the Aesculapian Society (our "student council"), attended by students and faculty alike.
Ontario Medical Student Weekend (OMSW)
The OMSW is a conference held at one of the 6 Ontario medical schools each year, featuring talks and workshops aimed at first year med students. It's a great chance to meet your future colleagues from other schools.
