Hello everyone, my name is Jihane Ridaoui, and I’m running for VP Global Health Quebec this year! 😉

To me, global health is about equity, solidarity, and making sure that every community, local or international, has a voice in medicine.  As future physicians, our responsibility doesn’t stop at the clinic door. Every day we’ll see how factors like poverty, access to care, migration, environment, and policy shape our patients’ health. Understanding and addressing these realities enables us to offer patient-centered care rather than condition-centered and ultimately become better doctors for the people we serve.

If elected, I will act as a bridge between the MSS and the Faculty of Medicine, making sure your concerns and ideas on public and global health are represented. I’ll also take responsibility for overseeing our Society’s global health projects and ensure they continue to grow. Finally, I plan to strengthen collaboration with McGill Global Health Programs so that we can be part of large-scale initiatives that truly make an impact.

This is what I will focus on:

• Holistic – Promote a broad view of health that includes social, political, and environmental determinants, not just diseases
• Engagement – Actively involve students in global and local initiatives through projects, workshops, and campaigns.
• Advocacy – Represent student voices in discussions with the MSS, Faculty, and national/global organizations.
• Leadership – Create opportunities for McGill students to lead in IFMSA-Qc, CFMS-GH, and international conversations.
• Transparency – Keep communication open through newsletters, social media, and regular updates so everyone stays informed.
• Harmony – Strengthen collaboration between MSS Global Health, McGill Global Health Programs, and community partners to amplify impact.

I am committed to make global health not only a priority, but also a platform where every student can get involved and feel empowered. I’d be honored to have your support in making this vision a reality. Together, let’s be the generation of medical students who don’t just study health, but shape it.

3. Collaboration & Transparency: Enhance support and communication with the Faculty, McGill Global Health Programs, and external organizations, while fostering open and accessible dialogue for all students.

Who I Am & What I Bring

My name is Ramiya Veluppillai and I am honoured to be running for VP Global Health Quebec. Coming from a South Asian background, I grew up aware of the barriers that many communities face in accessing healthcare. This perspective, along with my involvement in advocacy and community initiatives, has shaped my belief that medicine is as much about equity and justice as it is about biology.

I completed a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and a Master of Science in Experimental Medicine, where my research focused on disparities in healthcare. This work strengthened my understanding of systemic inequities and motivated me to pursue leadership opportunities that promote health equity.

Beyond the classroom, I co-founded C-Abili-T, a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging healthcare gaps for children with special needs in the South Asian community. Through this role, I learned the importance of collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and advocacy in creating sustainable solutions.

I also bring the perspective of a competitive figure skater and coach, where I developed leadership, teamwork, and mentorship skills. Coaching taught me patience, adaptability, and how to empower others — qualities I carry into every leadership role.

Together, these experiences have prepared me to serve as VP Global Health Quebec with compassion, collaboration, and a deep passion for advancing equity. I am committed to fully embracing the responsibilities of this role — co-chairing the MSS Global Health Committee, collaborating closely with IFMSA-Qc and CFMS-GH, and serving as a strong liaison between our class, the MSS, and McGill Global Health Programs.

Vision Statement

My vision is to ensure that global health feels accessible and relevant to every medical student. I want to foster opportunities for engagement — whether through advocacy, research, or community outreach — and strengthen partnerships that connect our work at McGill to broader provincial, national, and international initiatives.

Ultimately, I want to ensure that global health is not seen as distant, but as something directly connected to our patients, our communities, and our responsibilities as future physicians.

Key Priorities & Goals

• Student Engagement & Accessibility
  • Promote opportunities in advocacy, research, and community outreach so all students can find a meaningful entry point into global health.
  • Ensure communication is clear and accessible through newsletters, social media, and class updates.
• Collaboration & Partnerships
  • Work closely with IFMSA-Qc, CFMS-GH, and McGill Global Health Programs to amplify student voices and connect our class with broader initiatives.
  • Strengthen ties with local community organizations, particularly those addressing health disparities in Montreal.
• Advocacy & Equity
  • Champion initiatives focused on Indigenous health, migrant and refugee health, and the health impacts of climate change.
  • Create spaces for dialogue and reflection on the role of medical students in promoting health equity at both local and global levels.

Specific Initiatives & Promises

If elected, I commit to:

• Launching a Monthly Global Health Spotlight to highlight opportunities, campaigns, and student projects.
• Collaborating with officers to organize advocacy campaigns and awareness events on issues such as refugee health, climate justice, and healthcare accessibility.
• Developing partnerships with local organizations to create service and learning opportunities that directly impact marginalized populations in Montreal.
• Working with MSS and McGill Global Health Programs to support student attendance at national and international conferences, ensuring our class is represented.

Leadership Style

I lead with inclusivity, empathy, and collaboration. I value listening to diverse perspectives and amplifying the voices of others. My academic and community experiences — from research in healthcare disparities to co-founding a non-profit organization — have reinforced the importance of leading with compassion, adaptability, and integrity.

Closing Statement

Global health has always been more than an academic interest for me — it is a personal commitment rooted in my background and strengthened by my work in research, advocacy, and community engagement. As VP Global Health Quebec, I will work to ensure that our class has access to meaningful opportunities, that our voices are represented on the provincial and national stage, and that our efforts have tangible impact both locally and globally.

I would be honoured to serve as your VP Global Health Quebec and to represent our class with passion, collaboration, and integrity. In this position, I will uphold the mandate of the role by working in close partnership with IFMSA-Qc, CFMS-GH, the MSS, and our Faculty to ensure that our collective efforts in global health are both impactful and sustainable.

3 key points

1. Affordable, Quality Food and Free Coffee: I will dvocate for affordable, high-quality, and culturally inclusive food options in the McIntyre building, along with free coffee for all students to support well-being and reduce daily costs.
2. Flexible Absences That Respect You: I will advocate for a more flexible absence policy that truly reflects the diverse realities of student life, ensuring fair treatment for all circumstances.

Who I Am
My name is Syrine and I am running for class president. I’ve lived across four
continents, and each move has shaped me in unique ways. I’ve found myself blending in as part of the majority at times and standing out as a visible minority at others.
Wherever I’ve called home, I’ve learned how to build communities, speak up when it matters, and advocate for those around me. These experiences taught me the value of turning advocacy into meaningful action, lessons I further strengthened through years of leadership as president of my undergraduate and graduate student associations and as a provincial executive of the British Columbia Federation of Students. Together, these
experiences have not only shaped my leadership but also define what I hope to bring to our class.

My Immediate Priorities
If elected, I will be deeply committed to listening, adapting, and collaborating on solutions. Here’s what I am ready to tackle together with you right away:

• Affordable, Quality Food and Free Coffee
  I am committed to bringing better quality, more options, and fair pricing to all food
  and drinks in the McIntyre building, with a focus on healthier choices and
  culturally inclusive meals. I will also work to secure regular discounted or even
  free coffee, making busy days easier and helping everyone save on daily
  campus expenses.
• More Flexible Absences Policy
  I will advocate for a more flexible absence policy so they genuinely reflect the
  diversity and complexity of our lives. This means more excused days beyond the
  exclusive listed categories to ensure no one is penalized for honoring their needs
  or circumstances.
• Anonymous Voice Portal
  I will establish a permanent, anonymous portal where students can safely voice
  concerns, propose new ideas, and highlight systemic barriers. With guaranteed
  privacy, consistent review, and accountability to act, this platform will ensure that
  every student voice can directly shape meaningful progress in our community.
  To realize these goals, I am committed to practical collaboration. I will work closely with
  our class council and each of you through surveys, feedback sessions, and forums to
  keep our solutions grounded in real student needs. Building strong links with the
  Faculty, administration, and MSS council means our voice stays present in every
  decision.

Proven Leadership and Meaningful Impact
Throughout previous roles, I have worked to turn advocacy into genuine impact for the
communities I served. Here are some examples of how I have brought commitments to
life.

• Undergraduate Student Association President
  In my time as the elected president of the student Association, I led a key survey
  revealing many felt underrepresented. In response, I launched a taskforce with
  the Diversity and Equity Committee, championed targeted faculty hiring, and
  secured mandatory EDI training for staff. During a period of financial crisis, I built
  partnerships with BC universities to protect student credit transfers and worked
  with the Ministry of Higher Education to ensure smooth transitions for
  international students.
• Provincial Advocacy British Columbia Federation of Students
  On the provincial stage, as an executive member of the federation, I proudly
  brought the Period Promise campaign, a province-wide effort to end period
  poverty, to my own university, making free menstrual products available for all. I
  also led the Fairness for International Students campaign. I personally wrote to
  the Minister of Higher Education and spoke in the media as an international
  student myself, advocating for the removal of work hour caps. Our efforts
  succeeded in increasing permitted work hours, with the policy enacted in
  November 2024.
• President, Master of Public Health Student Association
  Most recently as the President of the Public Health Student Association at
  McMaster University, I focused on elevating my peers’ experience beyond the
  classroom by building stronger professional networks, connecting students with
  health leaders, and organizing events with real-world impact. I secured nearly
  $100,000 stipend equity for both thesis and practicum students, ensuring fair
  compensation for all, and continued advocating for academic, professional, and
  personal support for every students.
  

All I need now is your vote. With your trust and support, I will serve as a dynamic,
honest, and transparent advocate for our class. Vote Syrine for Class President, and
let’s turn every voice and every idea into real progress, together.

What’s up Med-1!

I’m Georgio Gholam, and I’m running to be your Class President this year.
I just completed the Med-P year here at McGill, and I’m excited to build on that experience as we
take this next step together. Outside of Medicine, working out, reading, traveling, and sharing a
good laugh with friends makes me who I am.

Over the years, serving on student councils, coaching basketball and swim teams, co-founding a
tutoring company with fellow McGill med students, and holding executive roles in health-related
clubs, taught me to listen first and lead not with authority, but with collaboration.

I’ve had the real pleasure to get to know many of you during the past weeks. This platform reflects
not just my vision, but the conversations I’ve had with many colleagues, from Med-Ps to those
joining from bachelor’s, master’s, PhDs, and MD-PhD programs, as well as past class presidents to
see what they were able to accomplish to make students’ lives easier. My goal is to represent all of
us.

Academic Advocacy
The first year of medical school sets the tone for our journey. It shapes our academic growth, our
first clinical skills, and the community we build. As Class President, I’ll ensure every student feels
supported, comfortable, and confident.
Many students have already voiced frustrations from small things like disorganized MyCourses
files to bigger issues in small group teaching. When feedback is ignored, it builds up and makes us
feel disconnected from decisions that impact us.

To fix this, I’ll:

• Collect feedback regularly through surveys, informal check-ins, and drop-in sessions.
• Bring concerns directly to the Faculty and MSS representatives.
• Stay reachable by Messenger, Instagram, or email for quick and reliable support and
  stay on top of MyCourses documents.
• Organize files and updates on MyCourses, so info is easy to access.
  Honestly, it’s not even the files, it’s the tabs. They’re all over the place, and it changes
  from block to block. I’ll push for a clear, consistent layout across all courses so you’re not
  guessing every time. Same folders, same tab order, same clarity. You’ll spend less time
  clicking around and more time learning.
• Ensure feedback on lectures, small groups, LFME, and the Physician Apprenticeship
  program reaches the Curriculum Committee, where I’ll represent us.
• And in small groups, we’ve all noticed how sometimes we spend three hours going over
  all the answer guides to be provided without having access to a short written version
  afterward. I’ll advocate for clear brief answer guides to be provided, so the time we invest
  in small groups translates into actual time for consolidation.

Our class is incredibly diverse, some of us are coming from CEGEP, others from university
degrees, and some even from research or professional work. That means different levels of
exposure to medical concepts and study strategies.

I’ll work with the VP Medical Education and the Academic Representative to:

• Create opportunities to teach and learn from each other, turning our diversity into an academic strength by organizing:
  • Peer-Led “Mini Reviews” Before Exams or Big Blocks: 30–45 minute student-led sessions on high-yield topics using a shared sign-up sheet: “If you feel confident explaining a topic, volunteer to lead a short review!”.

Research & Extracurricular Clarity
Let’s be real: extracurriculars, research, and CV-building can cause anxiety in Med-1.

To reduce the stress, I’ll:

• Create a centralized platform for all opportunities: no more missed Messenger threads or word-of-mouth gaps.
• Push for informal Q&A sessions with upper years, so you have guidance on how to
  get involved while keeping your balance.

Well-being
Medical school is exciting, but it’s also intense. If stress isn’t acknowledged, it builds up and hurts
both well-being and learning.

That’s why I’ll:

• Check in after each block with surveys and polls to see how we’re doing and communicate with VP social to get students’ feedback on what type of social they crave the most.
• Bring that feedback to VP Wellness and the Faculty to make improvements quickly.
• Make support resources easy to find and access, whether it’s counseling, wellness
  workshops, or mental health guides.

A Community That Includes Everyone
Not everyone loves the same type of social events.

I’ll collaborate with the VP Social and Cohort Reps to:

• Host more cross-cohort events, so we can connect with upper years and feel part of the
• broader McGill Medicine family.
• At end-of-block parties, make sure music reflects different tastes, not just pop (#boat),
  but hip-hop, afro, international, even throwback playlists, so everyone feels represented
  in the vibes.

If you’ve read this far, thank you very much.
But here’s my one promise to you:
I’ll work hard to make Med-1 a year where we thrive academically, grow socially, and feel
supported in every step. Whether you’re coming from Cégep, a bachelor’s, master’s, or MD-PhD,
your voice matters, and I’m here to make sure it’s heard.
Let’s make this year a great one, together.
Georgio

Who I Am & What I Bring
My name is Emily Mancinone. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Clinical
Exercise Physiology at Concordia University and went on to pursue my Master of Science in Physical
Therapy at McGill. Along the way, I’ve embraced opportunities to grow as both a leader and a learner.
I’ve served as Class Representative and then as Co-President of the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy Graduate Student Association (SPOTGSA), and I currently co-lead both the ICU Bridge Program hospital volunteer management team and one of its hospital sites. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to listen, organize, and take initiative; all skills I bring to leadership roles.

I am running for Class President because I want the opportunity to lead and represent a group of people who share my motivation, passion, and excitement about being here. Having applied multiple times to medical school before being accepted, I know how meaningful this opportunity is, and I feel deeply grateful to finally be where I am meant to be. My goal is to lead by example, with kindness, transparency, and energy, and to be the type of president who is approachable, compassionate, and action-oriented. I want every classmate to feel that they have someone to turn to, whether for support, advocacy, or to bring their ideas forward.

Beyond academics and leadership, I’ve pursued experiences that challenge me and help me grow outside the classroom. I’ve solo traveled across Southeast Asia, Europe and South America, navigating new cultures, making friends in unfamiliar places, while embracing independence. I’ve volunteered at events like the Montreal Beneva Marathon, supporting athletes with post-race care and education, and have worked hands-on with patients in clinical settings ranging from acute hospital care to orthopedic and pediatric clinics. Outside of work and studies, I enjoy staying active, whether running, going to the gym, or playing recreational volleyball, and I love cooking and baking with my family and friends, sharing those moments of creativity and connection.

I bring to this role a mix of determination, empathy, and curiosity. I’m energized by collaboration,
motivated by meaningful experiences, and committed to making our class journey as supportive and
inspiring as possible. My goal is not just to lead, but to make sure our class thrives together, with laughter, learning, and shared success along the way.

Vision Statement
My vision is to create a class environment where everyone feels heard and understood, with student
well-being prioritized alongside academics. I want our community to feel connected, supportive, and
excited to learn together, with concerns addressed quickly, transparently, and effectively. First year is
especially important, not only for laying the foundation of academic success, but also for building
connections, getting to know new people, and forming friendships that will carry us through the years
ahead. Ultimately, I want our class to feel like a supportive community where balance, collaboration, and respect guide us through the challenges of medical school.

Key Priorities & Goals
Advocacy & Representation: Establish a continuous feedback system through anonymous Google
Forms and compile class feedback into monthly summaries to bring directly to the Faculty Curriculum
Committee and MSS meetings.

Transparency & Communication: Provide regular updates through emails, group chats, and a short
monthly newsletter featuring key information, faculty updates, and wellness resources. Hold informal
“office hours” or coffee chats for anyone who wants to bring up concerns face-to-face.

Community & Events: Collaborate with class reps, EDI, and academic reps to organize bonding
activities such as intramural sports, Mount Royal lunch walks, potlucks, and themed socials. Support
existing initiatives while encouraging new, low-cost, inclusive events to strengthen our sense of
community.

Academics & Curriculum: Advocate for clearer exam schedules and expectations, and ensure feedback from our class is consistently voiced at the Curriculum Committee. Explore ways to enhance early clinical and shadowing opportunities, based on student interests.

Wellness & Support: Collaborate with wellness representatives to design initiatives tailored to our
class—such as Wellness Week (coffee mornings, yoga, peer-to-peer support workshops). Promote
accessible outdoor and in-school wellness activities that encourage a balance between personal and
academic life.

Specific Initiatives & Promises
If elected, I commit to launching a Monthly President’s Update to keep everyone informed and connected. I will introduce an anonymous feedback form that feeds directly into Faculty discussions. I plan to partner with wellness reps to organize a semesterly Wellness Week with a mix of in-person and outdoor activities. I will advocate for timely exam schedule releases to reduce stress and support better preparation. Finally, I will support inclusive, community-building events that reflect the diversity of our class.

From my past experience, I’ve seen how even small gestures can go a long way in supporting student
well-being. That’s why I want to introduce initiatives like free coffee and breakfast mornings during exam weeks to help us recharge and feel supported.

More initiatives will come as I get to know our class better and talk with diverse groups of people to see what would benefit the most students overall.

Leadership Style
I am a leader who thrives on collaboration, enthusiasm, and transparency. I am approachable, easy to talk to, and genuinely care about listening to others. I believe in leaning on my team for support, celebrating our strengths, and ensuring that every student feels their voice is valued and matters.

Closing Statement
I know firsthand the importance of strong, approachable leadership. Having served as a class
representative, co-president of SPOTGSA, and co-head of a hospital volunteer team, I’ve built the skills to advocate effectively, communicate clearly, and bring people together.
If elected, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our class feels supported, represented, and connected. I
want our medical school journey to be one where we not only succeed academically but also thrive
personally, together.

I would be honoured to serve as your Class President and to represent our class with kindness,
compassion, and action.

So, I took on the role and responsibility as the sole party planner for my lab, organizing everything from Jeopardy games, birthday parties, and bar crawls to bowling nights and escape room events! I also served as one of the heads of the Montreal Children’s Hospital Quality of Life at Work Committee, where our team planned monthly-themed events for staff, patients, and their families, such as Halloween costume contests, Christmas galas, sugar shack, and even a Garden-themed tea party! 

With my organization, leadership and creativity skills, along with my experience, I know how to bring people together. I’ll be dedicated to creating fun, safe, inclusive, and memorable events that bring us together beyond the classroom. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your voice is always represented by collaborating, listening to and incorporating your diverse preferences and ideas (my apologies in advance for spamming the Facebook Messenger groupchat!). So whether it’s casual get-togethers, big celebrations, or fresh ideas you want to try, I’ll make sure our class has plenty of chances to connect, relax, and enjoy this journey together!

So let’s make this year memorable for the right reasons – the fun reasons!
