Air2222 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Calgary starts in a few weeks and it's all online. They are telling students to be in Calgary for September as small group stuff will begin then, but to expect learning online going forward. My guess is all lecturers online, labs etc in person until at least Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pterygoid Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Seems like it'll be a mix for us. "During fall 2020, UBC will primarily offer larger classes online with selected smaller classes conducted in-person, adhering to physical distancing and other public health requirements. We will maintain a clear focus on ensuring high-quality face-to-face instruction, where possible, and high-quality remote instruction. The Undergraduate Medical Education Program will be sharing updates about specific sessions in the coming weeks." Medddddd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbmed Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Western is saying blended- mostly online, but hoping to get us in for at least a couple in-person sessions a month starting September for clinical skills & anat. Orientation is looking blended as well Edit: Forgot to add, but they're also planning on still making observerships possible Edited June 15, 2020 by hbmed CHG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaik Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Looks like Dalhousie will be virtual in the fall, with the exception of clinical skills (those will be held in small groups). Unsure about electives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopamineislife Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Seems like most schools (so far) will be a blend with virtual and in-person for clinical skills and small group activities. Moving during a pandemic, especially between provinces, is going to be a little difficult but glad we are in the position to be discussing medical school.

Boater223 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 MUN is going to be entirely online for the fall semester for the incoming class. We aren't required to move to St. John's until January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at the NB campus and NB has projected late 2020/early 2021 to be the time where things may get back to “normal”.. but I know we will probably follow suit with whatever Dal NS does. If you guys are home come winter, we probably will be too! 88rising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGreens Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 UofT mentioned during a webinar to 2T3s that the fall would be mostly online. It was unclear at the time if it was entirely online, or with “optional” in person experiences for things like anatomy. UofT seems concerned about a second wave and mentioned winter likely having online components as well. They mentioned that they’d give students ample warning to arrange living if they require us to be in person in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source:https://med.uottawa.ca/undergraduate/updates-regarding-covid-19-ugme-program-activities Interesting- while you may be right, I would hesitate to go off of one line on their website when incoming students have not received an official email from the school. Note that it also says “Please note that all official communications regarding UGME curricular activities, cancellations, status reports, and updates will be sent by the UGME Office only.” I would hold out for official notice from the school before being 100% sure that the website is entirely accurate. I find it strange that if they knew everything was online 5 days ago, they haven’t sent an email to the class yet. And even if lecture classes are online, we don’t know anything about electives, clinical skills, labs, etc. Either way, I’m sure we’ll know soon!
