Nardin KirolosPast Executive Co-Director of MMCHi everyone! Welcome to the MMC! My name is Nardin Kirolos, and I am a graduate from the University of Ottawa medical school, undergoing pediatrics training at the University of Toronto! Having set my eyes on medical school early on in my studies, I know the challenges that come with this pursuit and the tremendous help that it can be to have mentors supporting you along this path. In recognizing that not everyone has these mentors in their networks, the MMC is here to connect you with medical students, residents and physicians from across the country to help support you along every step of this journey. Mentorship has always been such a passion of mine because I’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact that it can have on your life. The MMC is all about fostering a supportive environment where mentors can use their experiences to help others on this path. Regardless of what your path has been that has led you to us, we’re happy to have you in our community and hope to support you in whatever way we can!

Davy LauExecutive Co-Director of MMC
My name's Davy and I'm an Internal Medicine resident from Vancouver! I oversee and moderate the community, working to ensure that each and every member is welcomed, feels accepted, and, similarly, that every one of your questions is answered by mentors with relevant experiences! I ensure that all our channels are running smoothly and address any tech difficulties people have.
Prior to starting medical school at UBC, I spent 3 years studying Cellular and Physiological Sciences, also at UBC. Some of my activities in med school included being a part of my school's Political Advocacy Committee, where medical students collaborate to advocate for public health issues. This gave me the opportunity to write policy papers & speak to the premier, MLAs across party lines, and news outlets about health systems issues, such as surgical wait times and unsafe ER conditions. Outside of school, I like to play piano, learn ballet, read my collection of Nancy Drew books, and watch gymnastics and figure skating! |
