Currently, the black population is not well represented in the medical field. The lack of black students in medicine can be attributed to the lack of black role models present in the field, unawareness of the opportunities available and a misunderstanding of what it takes to be a medical doctor.

Throughout the course of the year, the club aims to run events whereby students of colour will be given the opportunity to hear from physicians and other healthcare leaders of colour about what a career as a medical doctor entails. Additionally, we hope to lead workshops to make students more aware about the Medical College Admission Test and provide them with tips and strategies that may not be otherwise available to them. More importantly, as a way to expand the club’s impact from previous years, ABAP would like to make mentors more available to students of colour and in doing so increase the mentorship opportunities available to them.

The TELFER BIPOC Business Society is a club at the University of Ottawa that was formed to address systemic barriers and promote equity, diversity, and inclusion for BIPOC students at the University of Ottawa. The club recognizes that many BIPOC students face numerous obstacles that make entering the business world after graduation difficult for them, whether it is less access to financial capital or reduced acceptance by mainstream media. By supporting these students, the club hopes to provide them with a safe space to flourish in circumstances that are not always conducive to their success. Furthermore, the TELFER BIPOC Business Society recognizes the importance of community and connection for BIPOC businesses. Often, these businesses celebrate unique cultures and draw upon grassroots communities. Lifting these companies legitimizes and strengthens what their products represent: diversity and belonging. The club aims to prioritize the local by supporting BIPOC companies and ensuring that the local community stays vibrant, with a wide range of products made by individuals who care deeply about what they do. Having a safe space for BIPOC students in business is immensely important because it allows them to connect with peers who share their experiences and struggles. This can lead to a sense of community and belonging that may be lacking in other areas of their lives.

Ultimately, the TELFER BIPOC Business Society is an important club at the University of Ottawa because it provides a much-needed platform for promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the business world,as well as on campus, and supporting BIPOC students well into graduation in their pursuit of success.

The conference allows students to present or propose their research to an audience and a panel of judges, gain experience drafting scientific literature, and the chance to network with industry professionals. Each year, CYM hosts an undergraduate-level research competition in which participants submit an abstract or a proposal on their research. Top candidates are selected by a panel of professional scientists to further compete at the conference, where they are given five minutes to present their research followed by a Question & Answer period. Oral presentations are also judged by professional scientists and three grand winners are selected on the conference day. Connecting Young Minds offers undergraduate STEM students a unique opportunity to present their research via elevator pitches at our conference, with potential for publication for top competitors. CYM has published twice in a peer reviewed STEM journal, the Undergraduate Research in Natural and Clinical Science and Technology (URNCST) Journal, which showcased the research work of twenty undergraduate students at uOttawa, ranging from a number of STEM fields such as biology, physics, technology, math, and chemistry. Additionally, CYM organizes multiple fundraising events throughout the year, such as sport tournaments and bake sales, to raise funds for the conference.

Then, the discussion opens to all participants. Discussions are guided by prepared questions but remain flexible to allow for free and spontaneous exchanges. At the end of each meeting, members are encouraged to provide feedback on the discussion and propose books for upcoming sessions. This ensures that the meetings meet the members' expectations and interests. These discussion meetings offer numerous benefits, including enriching members' literary culture, developing a critical and analytical mindset, fostering oral expression, and building self-confidence. In addition to literary discussions, "Les Bibliophiles" also organizes social gatherings once a month.

We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
