Our Story
Medical Perspectives (or MedSpecs) is a McGill undergraduate organization that maintains a supportive community for students who are curious about medical careers to access information, exchange ideas, and gain experience first-hand. Our community is founded upon the guiding principle that it is not important whether you are certain about a career in medicine, but rather, that ample resources should be available so that all students can make an educated decision about their future.
We feel very strongly that in order to know whether a career in medicine is best suited to you, an understanding of the day to day occurrences in the lives of professionals and trainees is crucial. To address this need, our organization has partnered with the McGill University Health Center (MUHC) system of hospitals to offer the physician shadowing program and professional speaker series. In addition, we invite fellow students, medical students, career advisors, and other experts to speak at our events.
