uoWomenInMed is a welcoming community at the University of Ottawa for women who are passionate about medicine—across all years, programs, and career interests. We exist to make the journey into medicine feel possible and supported. Whether you’re exploring specialties, preparing for applications, or seeking mentorship, you’ll find peers and role models who believe in your potential.

​

More than a club, we’re a space that celebrates ambition, compassion, and brilliance. We host physician panels, skill-building workshops, research and shadowing info sessions, MCAT and application prep touchpoints, and peer mentorship circles that connect first-years with upper-years and trainees. Our events are designed to help members learn, network with intention, and build the professional confidence to lead in clinics, labs, and communities.

​

At our core, we champion representation, wellness, and belonging. We actively highlight diverse voices in medicine, create safe and uplifting spaces to share experiences, and advocate for barriers-down access to opportunities. Every member should feel seen, supported, and inspired to step forward—on campus, in the hospital, and beyond.
