About Us

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.

 

Our VPs (2025-2026)

Giuliana Zambito –  President

My name is Giuliana Zambito, and I’m the President of Medical Direction. This is my third year on the team, having previously served as VP External. I’m passionate about helping students navigate their path to medicine, and when I’m not leading our incredible team, you’ll find me running on Mount Royal, at the B2 gym, or studying for my anatomy classes in a café downtown.

Justin Mah – VP Internal 

I’m Justin, VP Internal for Medical Direction! I help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes by supporting meeting planning, scheduling, and organization, and staying connected with SUS. You might spot me behind the camera sometimes, snapping photos at our events!
Liz Bown – VP External
Hi! I’m Liz Bown, VP External of Medical Direction, and I am a third year Anatomy and Cell Biology student. I plan fundraising events and communicate with external organizations to build connections for McGill’s pre-med community. I love being part of a team that helps students connect and grow on their journey to medicine. Outside of MD, you’ll probably find me on the field playing intramural soccer, watching sports, or unwinding with a good book or movie.

Franco Cavone – VP Academic

I am deeply passionate about supporting my community, colleagues and classmates through the medical school application process, as it is a journey I am currently pursuing myself. In my position, I have the opportunity to organize events and provide ressources in collaboration with medical students, helping aspiring applicants gain valuable insights and inspiration.

Daniel Covalcic – VP Outreach

Hey everyone, my name is Daniel, and I am the VP Outreach! I’m involved in managing the website and reaching out to you guys! I like cooking and volleyball, and a cool fact about me is that I am red-green colourblind.

Lou – VP Media & Communications

Hey! I’m Lou, and this is my second year as VP Media and Communications. My role includes promoting our events and team through social media, making posts and posters, and designing graphics. I also work closely with our VP Outreach who manages our website! My goal this year is to diversify our promotion efforts so that as many people as possible know about the amazing opportunities and support we offer!

Noah Goncalves – VP Medical Experiences

My name is Noah Goncalves, and I am VP Medical Experiences for Medical Direction. My role involves managing and coordinating events that provide students with valuable experiences to support their medical career paths. These include activities such as mock medical school interviews and interviews for the ICU Bridge Program. When I am not studying or managing events, some of my hobbies include playing football, reading and spending time with my family.

Siobhan Wright – VP Events

I am a U2 student majoring in Anatomy and Cell Biology and minoring in English Literature and Psychology. 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.

Noemie Saulnier – VP Finance

Hi! I’m Noémie and I’m in my last year in Neuroscience. As VP Finance for Medical Direction, I manage our budget, track expenses, coordinate sponsorships, and handle the financial side of our events. Outside of MD, you can probably find me out for a run, on the slopes, or playing guitar (not well).

Medical Experiences Committee (2025-2026)

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!
