Medical student writers, the OMA wants to hear from you
The Ontario Medical Association is pleased to provide an online forum for any Ontario medical student to write an article about their journey to becoming a doctor.
Posted on the OMA website, the student-penned articles may also be shared across various OMA communication channels and promoted to more than 43,000 physicians.
Here are some ideas about potential topics to write about:
- Share personal knowledge: Contribute to other students’ learning by sharing tips on getting through medical school, tried and true study habits or techniques used to reduce stress
- Describe a project or event you participated in to advocate for a better health-care system or a specific segment of the population
- Achievements: Shine the light on your personal/group and academic successes and achievements during medical school that impacted your peers, the system or the community
- Mentorship: Share insights on what you gained from being a mentor to another medical student or how your mentor inspires you
- Clerkship rotation: Write an article about a meaningful patient interaction during a clerkship rotation
