itimebomb2 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 So according to the thread in the General Premed forum, the new backpacks (two toned grey) will be released first, later the week, in Calgary. Can somebody please post a picture when they get it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD/CMA Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 For over 10 years, 1st Year Medical Students have looked forward to receiving their cohort's backpack from MD Physician Services, a Canadian Medical Association company. The backpacks are clearly identifiable by colour and will be distributed by the CMA, MD and Provincial Medical Associations. Med Students from across Canada tell us this signature bag enables them to quickly identify colleagues in the same year or from other graduating years. This year, the 2010 MD/CMA backpacks are two tone silver/grey. The first ones will be distributed at the University of Calgary this Friday, July 30, at the information fair immediately following the presentations in the Libin Theatre. Enjoy the backpack and congratulations on making the choice to pursue a career in medicine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggles Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Does anyone know if the backpack has a laptop compartment (with padding)? Just wondering if I should go ahead and buy a bag now or wait till I get mine. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onamountain Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 It does have a padded laptop compartment, and it's quite a roomy one. The bag is a different model than last year's. There's a ridiculous number of pockets and organizers and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always used the messenger type of bag b/c i was able to prevent things banging against the laptop, but it sounds like this bag might do the trick. Been forever since i wore an actual backpack though haha. Wondering if I should buy a lunch box too? j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a lunch box already Thanks! I might still buy a messenger type bag - I find these look a little more professional if you have meetings with faculty or doctors and the like - but that's just a personal thing. Definitely for day to day use these backpacks sure do sound good. I'm thinking there's gotto be a lot of mix-ups though as everyone has the same one so i might get my mom to stitch my name in mine after she packs my transformers lunchbox - sweet!

medgirl101 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Is it me or do they look kinda cheap compared to previous years? agreed, not that I'm complaining or anything-- it is a free backpack after all! but i wish they woulda stuck with the old style... i like the colors though!

What was the old style anyway? I thought only the color changed from year to year. What does it say on the backpack exactly? It's kind of hard to read since the picture is a bit blurry.

I initially didn't love it, but I looked up the bag on the High Sierra website, and now that I have a better idea what it will look like, it's actually going to be pretty nice. We're getting a very slightly modified version of this bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest p0stman Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yea this looks like the specific model if you want the "specs" http://www.highsierrasport.com/Item?number=5462〈=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleMed2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 No no ...don't get me wrong free is free....just saying. Also correct me if i'm wrong but its not a high sierra brand backpack. High Sierra is a reputable brand in the states. And I agree with the above statements re: the old style. They look good and are durable.... My friend's has been through a beating and its still in one piece. It's going to be a dual between that and his mountain equipment co-op bag.

No it definitely is a High sierra backpack and I'm pretty sure you get a life time warranty with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
