Intramurals

What's better than getting in some exercise, blowing off some steam and getting to know your fellow qmeds? Intramurals allow medical students to sign up in teams and play almost any sport against the rest of the Queen’s community. Typically games are in the evenings and range from ultimate Frisbee, soccer, curling, and even inner tube water polo.
