Club week and recruitment period

Club Week is an adaptation of Clubs Day that was made to be online due to the COVID-19 pandemic and for clubs to be more accessible for both campuses. It is an opportunity to discover clubs and SCs.

Each recruiting organization was asked to submit a short video introducing itself. You can look at their recruitment form, a document that describes all the positions the club or SC is recruiting for.

Clubs and SCs are excellent ways to explore one’s interests and get involved. You can share your passion with other medical students, build your network and CV!

You have a whole week to explore the club and SC pages (please refer to the table above to see when it is happening).

You will then submit your applications through the MSS form during Recruitment Periods.

There is also Extended Recruitment Periods for unfilled positions.

What is the difference between a club and a standing committee?

• Standing Committees do not have to re-apply for club status every semester. They also benefit from guaranteed funding to support their mission, hence their name.

Do I need to apply to a club to participate in their events?

• No — Recruitment Applications are for people who seek an executive position within a club or standing committee. If you simply wish to attend an event, we encourage you to like a club or SC’s Facebook Page and look out for cool opportunities that are submitted on the Murmur (weekly newsletter).

Where do I apply?

• You can’t apply as of yet — stay up to date with the Murmur and any communications sent by the VP Internal Affairs of the MSS. A form will be available, and you will be able to submit your applications for all the clubs and SCs that are of interest to you.

Can I apply to more than one position per club?

• Yes, shoot your shot.

I’m confused.

• Please send an email to the VP Internal at vpinternal.mss@mail.mcgill.ca.
