Why I want to be a doctor: “My mother was a cardiologist in China, so I grew up hearing First year: how she had helped people. I want to be able to help too.” Yang Lei The toughest part of med school: “The regimented approach. I did my undergrad at McMaster in a small arts and science program. It was more free-flowing, and you learned a lot from the discussions outside of class, in the coffee shop or bar. At medical school, I’ve had to exercise greater personal discipline. For the first few months, I was in shock. “Fortunately, I’m at the Mississauga Acad- emy of Medicine where there are only 54 students. We’re like a tight-knit family made up not only of students but the office and caretaking staff. The caretaking staff threw the students a potluck dinner before Christ- mas. We loved that, and now we try not to make a mess.” What I’d change about medical school: “I’d make it more reflective. First and second years are lecture-based so I’d add weekly discussions on topics like what it means to be sick and go through the system.” How I’m different from med students of yesteryear: “We’re learning with diverse stu- dents who have diverse perspectives. I am a Chinese-Canadian and lots of my classmates are hyphenated Canadians.” My favourite TV medical drama: “I don’t have one. When I was growing up, we didn’t have cable so I never got into the habit of watching TV.” My biggest challenge will be: “Time man- agement. My patients, colleagues and friends will all be placing demands on me.”

Medical Alumni Association 11 Health care history check-up Interprofessional symposium mines Toronto’s medical past by Jonathan Fuller, U of T, MD/PhD student (philosophy of medicine)

Instruments Collection, headed by IHPST PhD students Erich Weidenhammer and Ari Gross. Featured in our displays were artifacts dating back to 1898, including a portable ECG that records traces on photographic paper, a hand-cranked centrifuge and nursing uniforms from several distant decades. The university’s Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library also displayed a small sampling of its impressive health care holdings. For me, all of these pieces aptly represented part of the symposium’s purpose: to preserve our history and to extract lessons from it that will guide health care education and delivery into the future. A few of us were lucky enough to show off the exhibit to Dr. Janet Carding, CEO of the ROM, who was a health care historian earlier in her career.
