It is with great sadness that OMSA remembers and honours our colleague, peer, and friend Abeera Shahid, who passed on December 19th. Abeera was a 3rd year med student @uOttawaMed and OMSA’s Vice President of Advocacy. Read our members’ tribute here: omsa.ca/en/hub/in-memory-of-…

So proud of our VP Natalie (MS2 at Queen's) for sharing a thoughtful message on physician resilience and mentorship.
Thank you @OntarioDoctors for highlighting this.
@QueensUHealth @QueensuDOM
Doctors show up for us in so many ways.
Queen’s University medical student @natalie_kearn reflects on the resilience of physicians and the countless ways they go above and beyond for their students and patients.
