VP MAM
As the Vice President Mississauga, I act as the official spokesperson and liaison for all UofT Mississauga Academy of Medicine (MAM) students, across all years. I advocate for MAM student needs, concerns, and inclusion within the UofT MD program by attending all MAM-related meetings with faculty and student leaders, including the monthly Mississauga Academy of Medicine Advisory Committee and Student Education Committee meetings. I am also working with faculty and students in founding a MAM equity, diversity, and inclusion committee to work from an anti-oppressive lens in reshaping our curriculum and shared spaces within the school and the greater community. I also work to create an open and welcoming environment for all MAM students by organizing social events, managing social media accounts, and contributing to the monthly MAM Events and Updates newsletter. Furthermore, I monitor and consult on the implementation of MAM inclusion bylaws.

Hello! My name is Ayaan, and I am thrilled to represent the Mississauga campus as VP MAM Sr. I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario, and completed a BSc at the University of Ottawa before moving to Mississauga for medical school.

VP MAM Jr.
About Me
Hey! I'm Gurdit, and I am the VP MAM Jr for this year! I was born in Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga, but moved to British Columbia when I was 2, and then came back to Ontario when I was 12! I did a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree at Queen's University and chose MAM as my campus preference (let's go MAM!). In my free time, I like to workout, cycle across Mississauga, and play basketball. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
Year Plans and Goals
1. Continue doing frequent socials (especially after MEs) to maintain MAM spirit and continue fostering the community environment we are so lucky to have at MAM!
2. Work on EDI initiatives with a diverse team to support you in your academic journey, tackle sensitive topics such as racism and bias, and be your ally!
3. Advocate for your needs; whatever it may be, I want you to share your concerns and how I can best support you!
Reasons to Contact Me
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns with your experiences in the MD program so far (can be anything), feel free to get in touch!
