Engineers in Medical School: Admission and Perspective
WHAT: Engineers in Medical School: Admission and Perspective
WHEN: Mar 24th, 2010, 6:00 - 7:30pm
WHERE: BA 2145
Are you an engineer looking for a career in medicine? Do you want to
become a doctor but don't know where to start? The Club for
Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering (CUBE) is hosting the first ever
medical school seminar exclusively for engineering students! Come and
have your questions answered.
-------------------------------------------------------------
In today's competitive academic climate, a winning application can be
the difference that makes you stand out among the thousands of
students applying to medical schools across Canada (and the United
States). Our seminar, given by a current MD student and a current
MD/PhD student (both of whom completed undergraduate engineering
degrees), will give you a comprehensive understanding of all areas of
the application process. The differences between an MD and an MD/PhD
program will be highlighted and they will also share their unique
perspective on the choice of attending medical school following
graduation from engineering.
Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP.

It’s finally happening! The Club for Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering
(CUBE) is having the first ever Biomedical Engineering Competition and YOU are
invited to be part of CUBE history! Join us as we provide a day of bioengineering-related
challenges for you and nine other teams to overcome and solve your way to victory!
This year, the competition will be based around a problem that is surely to
stimulate all of you to come up with innovative designs and prototypes based on
those designs! For judging, we have invited several IBBME graduate students and
several experts in the field to come and determine which design is the most
feasible and functional!
This one-day event will take place on Saturday March 27 and lunch will be
provided at the event. Registrations are open from now until March 10. You may
register a team of up to 4 members. Do note that registration is done on a
first come first serve basis, we are only taking 10 teams max! The deposit fee
to register is $20 per team, paid to Barb in the EngSoc office (SF basement). Remember
to give her your emails when you register! The $20 deposit will be refunded to
the teams at the end of the event.
The first place winners of the competition will receive $200 as a team, second
place will receive $100, and third place will receive $40! Other prizes will
also be given out so give it your best shot but more importantly, have fun!
Note that you do not have to be in biomedical engineering to
participate.
Anyone with a keen interest in bioengineering is welcome to join us!
Good luck to all, and may the best team prevail!
