x-over Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 do we get anything else for free? i.e. water bottles etc...always up for freebies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebouque Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 in new brunswick they get scopes i believe! (by scope, i mean the steth, not the ophth or the endo!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuluman007 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 In Sherbrooke we got a few waterbottles from National Bank and Welch Allyn. Don't worry... your first few weeks should be filled with freebies ranging from pens to water bottles to lunch! The banks are particularly looking for your business. Have fun all you new meds! Enjoy orientation/initiation/whatever they call it in your end of the woods! It should be a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2014? Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Anyone know what colour the backpacks are going to be next year? I need to coordinate my wardrobe.... JUST KIDDING! But I am (on a very superficial level) kind of curious.. those backpacks have been haunting me for years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microbiodude Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 As far as I know there hasn't been a vote on the colour yet (if they're doing a vote this year as well). So undetermined at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtkinetic Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I just spoke with an agent with MD Management, and there definitely will be backpacks this year, despite complaints from UofT and UBC...They will be two tones of grey, and I'm stoked to rep it with pride!!

Will they still give them to UofT?? Last year they delayed giving them to U of T students because U of T gave their own students special bags themselves.

switchit Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hey guys, From the UofT 1T4 fb group: "Hi all, This year, the CMA/OMA will be distributing the backpacks to your class. The colour and design of the backpack has not been made public yet, so be skeptical of any rumours that you hear. All I know is that it's by the same company (High Sierra) and it's fancier than last year's. The MAA will not be distributing backpacks this year. Love, Team 1T4ientation (aka the O-Week committee)" I'm guessing CMA/OMA backpacks = MD financial backpacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtkinetic Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 MD Management is owned by the CMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange123 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 ... no, but the people on my bus route have associated them with med students, so the 5 days I wore mine, I got questions like... "My daughter has this fever that won't break, what should I do about it?" to... "Will you take a look at this fungus on my finger?" I just use a regular bag. Lol! I was just thinking that! I thought, "do I really want undue attention? And nosey questions? I'm only a first yr med student for god's sake." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasma Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is the design the same for all universities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigM Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is the design the same for all universities? I believe so, almost everything I had read about past years seems to suggest it is the same across the board. Although I heard something about UofT having a seperate one with a different sponsor. I don't recall if that was sometime in the past or the plan for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC_Ma Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Now I can rest in peace. Getting the backpack was the whole purpose of getting into med and become a doc j/k ofc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Is the design the same for all universities? yes the backpacks are identical for all universities excepting the logo of the provincial medical association which is embroidered on the bottom.

Dont know if they plan on continuing this trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
