Melly731 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hi there, I am starting at the Northern Ontario School of Med this fall and I heard that were aren't receiving the MD financial bags anymore starting this year due to the conflict of interest policy of the university. I know Ottawa U did the same thing a few years ago but I was wondering if anyone from Ottawa U since that policy was enforced was able to obtain an MD financial bag by other means or by purchasing one? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu95 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 You can double check with the school, but I think there was an MDF rep before who said that because it's the school that doesn't want their students to have those backpacks, they (MDF) also couldn't circumvent the school and give/sell one to the student.

Donald_Duck Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The uOttawa one is so much better than the MDF tho... Perhaps yours will be too! Mr Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly731 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks I hope we can buy them but at least if the NOSM ones look good I'll feel better. Do you have a pick of the Ottawa U bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald_Duck Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 They are standard offered by the faculty, but they sport the nice dark red and black colors of uOttawa with a nice uOttawa emblem and MD2021 in bold. I have always aspired to get one as an undergrad seeing those bags around! Mr Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Duck Funny, as someone going to uOttawa from a school that uses the MD Financial bags for the med students, I was a bit disappointed to find out we would be getting a different bag. At least until I saw this year's colour that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly731 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Ya I'm thinking NOSM'S bag won't be quite as nice as the Ottawa U bags. Their colours are yellow and blue I also don't want to be walking around with a bag that has a Laurentian Logo on it. I did my undergraduate degree there and they disappointed me. I guess this is a minor thing anyways the important thing is finally getting in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
