University of Toronto Emergency Interest Group
EM Mentorship

Want to find out more about what it's like to be an Emergency Physician (EP)? Want advice on getting into residency? Want to hear the experiences of those who have already gone through the trenches? UTEMIG can hook you up with EP mentors.

N.B. Mentorship is independent of the shadowing program. Mentors are offering their time to share their experiences and to offer advice, not to take you to the emergency department. Please see the "EM Shadowing" or "EM Research" sections for doctors to shadow and do research with.
