2 University of Toronto • Spring 2017 Your MAA donation at work Pacemakers Dragon Boat Club is a prescription for relieving stress

AS EVERY ALUMNUS KNOWS, MEDICAL SCHOOL can be a real grind, and the pressure to keep up can be unrelenting. But students need a break from all that studying and for one group, that comes in the form of training for an annual dragon boat competition on Lake Ontario. The Medical Alumni Association (MAA) funds a number of student groups through the Medical Society, all of which are focused on extracurricular activities, special interests and study groups. The Pacemakers Dragon Boat Club is one of the popular extracurricular groups. Once a week through the school year, a group of 20 to 30 mainly first- and second-year med students meet to train for participation in the Toronto International Dragon Boat Race Festival. ABOVE: Pacemakers celebrate their win at the 2014 Toronto Island Dragon Boat Festival. While some undergraduate teams take part in intra-varsi- BELOW: Warming up before the start of the race.

A new book on Dr. Vera Peters The late Dr. Don Cowan’s (1956) book, Vera To Everyone: The Life of Dr. M. Vera Peters, Medical Pioneer, was recently published.

DR. VERA PETERS WAS A TRULY remarkable woman and vanguard, who single-handedly changed the way we now treat Hodgkin’s lymphomas and early stage breast cancer. From the 50s to the early 70s, Dr. Peters took a contrarian approach in what was then a male-dominated medical establishment, making this a story of interest to the medical community, as well as anyone who enjoys a fascinating biography. Vera To Everyone stands as the most thorough and comprehensive assessment of Dr. Peters’ life and work, authored by a respected oncologist and alumnus. Please contact the MAA at [email protected] or 416.978.0990 for more information.
