NBMS Welcomes New Medical Students with Inspiring Future of Medicine Receptions
This fall, the NBMS proudly hosted two vibrant receptions to welcome incoming medical students. The first event took place in Saint John on September 17 for first-year students at Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick (DMNB), followed by a second celebration in Moncton on September 24 for students at the Centre de Formation Médicale du Nouveau-Brunswick (CFMNB).
Branded as the “Future of Medicine” receptions, these gatherings serve as NBMS’ official introduction to medical education in the province. They offer first-year medical students a chance to connect with local physicians, learn about their NBMS membership benefits, and engage with advisors from MD Financial and Scotiabank Health+.
“The Future of Medicine event was a great opportunity to engage with physicians and learn more about the evolving landscape of healthcare in New Brunswick,” shared Minha Haque, MD candidate, DMNB Class of 2029. “The event reinforced my excitement for the profession and the meaningful role we can play in shaping its future.”
A highlight of the receptions was the presentation of NBMS neurological kits, personally handed out by NBMS President Dr. Lise Babin.
“Engaging in meaningful conversations about the future of healthcare in New Brunswick left us inspired,” said one student. “We express our sincere gratitude for the Neurological Kits, which symbolize another milestone in our medical school journey.”
NBMS will also extend this gesture to New Brunswick students studying at the University of Montreal and Université du Québec, ensuring they too receive their neurological kits as part of their official welcoming into the medical society.
