The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Student Ambassador Program

Role and Duties of a Student AmbassadorÌý

To represent the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ

As the title implies, Student Ambassadors are called upon to represent the student body, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ. Just as the student body is made up of individuals with diverse backgrounds and aspirations, it is hoped that our Ambassadors will also illustrate the plurality of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Just as theÌýstudent body is connected by a common motivation to become physicians of the highest standard, it is hoped that our Ambassadors will convey a unified voice of commitment to professionalism, service and excellence.Ìý

The main objective of the Student Ambassador Program is to provide prospective applicants and newly admitted students the best information possible about the experience of attending theÌýFaculty of Medicine and Health SciencesÌýat 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ. 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Medical students' perspectives are invaluable to candidates deciding whether or not to apply to, or attend, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ.

Note that Ambassadors should not hold themselves out as officially representing the views of the student body or the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. If approached by the media in your capacity as an Ambassador, you are asked to consult with the Faculty's Communications Office before making any representations.

To serve as a contact person

Student Ambassador profiles (bio and photo) are posted on the Admissions website and are held out as contact persons for inquiries about the student experience.Ìý Ambassadors should be comfortable communicating by e-mail or telephone in a frank, friendly and professional manner. Ambassadors are required toÌýcheck their e-mail on a regular basis and be able to respond to a query within a short time frame (no more than 5 days).Ìý

To give tours of the facilities

From time to time, prospective students request faculty tours; these are conducted by Student Ambassadors. Tours cover both the Montreal and Campus Outaouais campuses, examples are the McIntyre Medical Sciences Building amphitheaters, classrooms and computer lab, the Life Sciences and Osler Libraries, the Strathcona Anatomy Building and Anatomy Lab, the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Athletics facilities and, if feasible, hospital facilities, the Campus Outaouais classrooms, study lounge, simulation centre. The Student Ambassador may also invite prospective students to sit in on a course, session or lab; permission of professors should always be obtained in advance of such a visit.
