WeDayDream Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Big shout out to this man. His name is practically synonymous with UofC medical school. Hopefully, the admissions process doesn't change a lot for next year unlike what happened after UofA changed directors. Coldery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckduckgoose18 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Not affiliated with U of C in any way, but his pre-rejection interview letter was the kindest one I got and I think the way Dr Walker does frequent blog posts/updates on waitlists is awesome! It really shows he understands how stressful this can be and wants to minimize it however he can. Big ups ChemPetE, WeDayDream and targaryen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemPetE Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Big shoutout to Dr Walker over the years. I’m an alumni and he’s always commanded respect in both his admissions and clinical work. Dr Walker has definitely left big shoes to fill. With his announced successor, if it’s the same Dr Panaccione that I’m thinking of (pre-test probability is quite high), I recall he was a very engaging lecturer for his portion of the UME pre-clerkship curriculum. Certainly I’ve been out of the loop for a while and haven’t really interacted with Dr Panaccione since UME days (no big overlap with my current clinical practice), but I suspect that he will do a great job of continuing Calgary’s progress and leadership in MD admissions. Best of luck to him with his new role! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
