University of Manitoba

Positive experience.

They seemed to have everything organized so nothing really.

That area of winnipeg isn'e the most pleasant.

The new building and library, the friendly and positive, but non-arrogant students

Meh, some reading of the health care system, as well as brief overview of ethics..total maybe a couple hours

It was a very satisfying and enjoyable experience. It's really something to look forward to and not stress out about. You finally get to talk about all the topics you've been thinking of for past year!

Nothing.

The people were very friendly. It made me feel so relaxed... the process was virtually stress free! I'd go as far as calling it tons of fun.

Read a couple chapters in a book on bioethics to get a feel for different scenarios. Read the relevant articles on current healthcare issues in CMAJ and Medical Post. Practiced actually answering questions by having someone ask me the questions. Thought significant events in my life and about the reasons I chose to pursue medicine.

Bad!

I was not well prepared

The 2 unfriendly people on the panel. The fact that I was not asked questions about our healthcare system

Read many articles

Stressful

That I was not well enough prepared for the interview

waiting in the hall for 30 minutes before the interview

The MMI

Practice questions

Really calm and relaxing. I felt calm, so I wasn't nervous and was able to answer comfertably. I really liked that.
