BEEDIE LUMINARIES— Last year in 2023, Beedie Luminaries launched the Graduate Studies Award (GSA), offering 10 alumni students a scholarship of up to $50,000 to pursue a graduate degree program at eligible institutions across Canada. Today, we’re excited to provide an update on where our graduate students are!
Last year, we cheered Chenille Wong on as she completed her first year of medical school at The University of British Columbia. Recently, we had a chance to catch up and ask how things were going. This is what Chenille said:
“I’m currently chugging away at the last 3 months of my second year of medical school before a brief summer break and then a whole new adventure into year 3. Unlike our lecture based education in year 1 and 2, year 3 clerkship marks the start of our clinical rotations through various specialties in medicine (such as family medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine, and much more).
I’m feeling excited to finally drop the books and step out into the ‘real world,’ but I’m also nervous for what’s to come. Before then, I’m focusing on getting through my exams, keeping sane by reading some great roman-tasy books, spending time with friends and family, and planning for my first trip to Europe in the summer!”
