Doroth\u00e9e resident Eunice You told <i>The Suburban.<\/i> <\/p>\n<p>You, who is enrolled in honours health science at Marianopolis College, is one of four science students who took the initiative to organize A Day in the Life of Medicine. The other three study at University of Montreal and Harvard. Together, they enlisted McGill Faculty of Medicine\u2019s support for the project. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will expose them to a world that, at their age, they don\u2019t usually get the opportunity to see,\u201d she said in an interview. \u201cThey are the next generation of doctors and scientists.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>From the outset there was such strong interest in the student-led initiative that its young organizers had to stop accepting applications, after they rapidly exceeded their 150-participant capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are quite a few students waitlisted,\u201d You said. <\/p>\n<p>A star-studded roster of researchers will talk to the students during the daylong session, Jan. 17. They include leading lights like brain tumour researcher Dr. Rolandro Del Maestro, pediatric cardiologist Dr. Ariane Marelli and oncologist Dr. David Mitchell. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey won\u2019t be giving dense science presentations,\u201d You explained. \u201cIt\u2019s more about engaging and inspiring the students with fresh points of view. They\u2019ll also get to participate in hands-on workshops on physical and medical exams, biotechnology, and virtual reality simulation. The aim is to encourage students to pursue various medical and biomedical science careers.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a different way to see what science fields are out there,\u201d Rosemere High School physics teacher Andrea Venditti told <i>The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cThey know that studying science at CEGEP can lead to becoming an engineer or a doctor, but there are other fields that they can aspire to. I had one student who became an underwater welder because of a school project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Franca Mancino and Diane Lafontaine will also be on hand to represent Laval-based pharmaceutical giant Sanofi Canada, the confab\u2019s biggest sponsor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conference bridges the gap between research and practice,\u201d said Mancino. \u201cNow is an important time to engage the future generation of Canadian-trained researchers to keep the country healthy and at the cutting edge of biomedical research.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Other corporate contributors include PerfectMIND, 3M and 4imprint.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/rf.podcastfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Eunice-You-1-1024x768.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/rf.podcastfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Eunice-You-1-1024x768.jpg\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<b>Eunice You aims to encourage other students to follow in her footsteps.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Robert Frankwww.thesuburban.com About 150 high school and CEGEP students will spend Saturday at McGill, to learn about what happens in the real world of medicine and clinical research. \u201cIt\u2019s a very exciting opportunity for them to learn from Montreal\u2019s leading doctors and researchers,\u201d Ste.
