What do top residents across specialties have in common... And how do you stand out as a med student?
Recorded live at the Western Medical Students Summit (Vancouver, Feb 2026), Dr. Cameron Wong (PGY1, Internal Medicine) hosts a dynamic panel featuring residents from OBGYN, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, and Family Medicine (+ Emergency Medicine). More than once, they promote the qualities that matter most: teamwork, curiosity, relatability, kindness, and work ethic... and how these show up in real clinical training.
From residency realities to practical tips on excelling in medical school, this conversation touches on mentorship, research, AI in medicine, CaRMS, rural & remote experiences, and of course... choosing a specialty - with insights you can actually use.
Panelists:
Dr. Harley Bray (PGY3, OBGYN)
Dr. Haaris Khan (PGY3, Ophthalmology)
Dr. Andrew Pauls (PGY2, Family Medicine → +1 EM)
Dr. Shirromi Sarveswaran (PGY2, Psychiatry)
