Letters for Canada

OMSA is recruiting team members to plan Day of Action happening in fall! Check out the links below for more information. Medical students at McMaster started an initiative to collect encouraging messages for patients hospitalized in Hamilton. Many patients are feeling isolated from their family and friends as a result of restrictions on the number of visitors per day. The organizers are looking to expand their initiative to reach as many patients as possible across Canada. They would love to collaborate with similar initiatives or work with interested students who would like to start a similar campaign in their area.

​If you are interested in collaborating or getting involved, please email lettersforcanada@gmail.com with the following details: your medical school and why you are interested.
