Registration for O-Week 2024 is now LIVE! Click this link to register, and check the Facebook page and this website regularly for updates.
The countdown is on to your arrival in Oshawa this August and the 2024 edition of the Queen's-Lakeridge Medicine Orientation Week. A full week of events and socials geared towards bringing together the Class of 2028, introducing you to the QMED Community, and ending your summer on a high note awaits!
In preparation, we (the Class of 2027), have set up this website as your "go to" resource for all things Orientation Week. Inside you will find basic O-Week details, a schedule (TBA), links to information about being a med student at Queen's Lakeridge Health, and much more! Details will go up progressively as they become available, so please check back regularly.
We hope that you are enjoying your summer before med school to the fullest and we can't wait to see you as a class. Until then, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to email them to cclakeridge@qmed.ca!
Your journey begins soon!
