Pre-Med, Simplified 

Medical Direction (MD) is the official pre-medical society of McGill University, supported by the Science Undergraduate Society (SUS). We aim to enhance the experiences of students interested in a career in healthcare so that they can make informed and educated decisions! By hosting various seminars, MCAT prep, and networking events with doctors, we strive to broaden all students’ perspectives in healthcare by providing interactive, informative, and enriching experiences. Most of us are planning for a career in healthcare

Alexis Edwards – Program Director 

Hey there! I’m Alexis, and I’m in the last year of my CogSci degree. This is my first year as Program Director for Medical Direction, and it’s been an incredible experience collaborating with an amazing team to support McGill premeds on their journey. As for my life outside of MD, I have two cats, Banana and Kelp!

Justin Mah – VP Internal 

Hi! I’m Justin Mah, VP of Internal Medical Direction. I handle things like member records, meeting minutes, and other internal communications to keep things running smoothly and everyone connected. Outside the club, you’ll find me volunteering as a first aider at events like Montreal Canadiens games or wandering around Montreal with my camera, discovering its hidden gems!

Giuliana Zambito, VP External
My name is Giuliana Zambito and I am VP External for Medical Direction. I’m excited to be part of McGill’s official pre-medical society, providing students with resources and support on their path to healthcare careers. When I’m not planning MD initiatives like our annual bursary, you’ll probably find me at the B2 gym, at the library, or a café with an iced matcha in hand.

I look forward to seeing you at our events!

Lou – VP Media & Communications

Hi! I’m Lou, and I’m VP Media & Coms! As part of my role, I design our social media posts and other advertising we might need. I’m a 2nd year anatomy student, and I love to draw, hangout with my cat, and rock climb. This year, I’m looking forward to help bring super helpful resources and events to McGill students interested in a medical path. Come say hi on our instagram!

Noah Goncalves – VP Medical Experiences

My name is Noah Goncalves, and I am VP Medical Experiences for Medical Direction. My role specifically is to manage and coordinate these events. When I am not studying or managing events, some of my hobbies include playing football (soccer), reading and spending time with my family. Be sure to sign up for our events throughout the school year!

Siobhan Wright – VP Events

I am a U1 student majoring in Anatomy and Cell Biology with a minor in English Literature. I have always been passionate about healthcare, particularly in making medical careers accessible to individuals who lack the connections or privileges of having family or friends in the medical field. I am passionate about organizing events that help bridge this gap and ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in medicine.

The Medical Experiences Committee works to help students get resources that help them on their premed journey, no matter where they are! We love to help out by offering mock MMIs or by providing information on undergraduate research. We are here to help out!
