Society of Medicine & Surgery
The Society of Medicine and Surgery (SMS), was established at Trinity in 2010. SMS gives students at Trinity School of Medicine an extra opportunity to learn essential clinical skills during their basic sciences curriculum. The group strives to give students an upper hand when entering into the extremely competitive clinical world.
Although the group’s focus is enhancing these basic skills, they also have many outreach programs that benefit the community of St. Vincent. From volunteering with the Girl Guides of St. Vincent (emergency preparedness, first aid, etc.) to contributing to the Health Day Clinics for Calliquia Police Station, SMS could be an invaluable part of your student experience.

At the national level in the United States, The Christian Medical & Dental Associations®(CMDA) is made up of the Christian Medical Association (CMA) and the Christian Dental Association (CDA). At Trinity (where the members are exclusively medical students), the CMDA provides resources, networking opportunities, education and a public voice for Christian healthcare professionals and students. Activities include a welcome breakfast for students, weekly bible study, family-friendly movie nights after each Unified exam, and taking part in the school-wide volleyball tournament. Future plans include expanding activities to mission trips, additional placement services, healthcare ministry opportunities, and scholarships.

The group takes a very active role in supporting local children’s homes with financial support and direct service work.
Canadian Medical Student Association
The Canadian Medical Students Association (CaMSA) is a student-run organization at Trinity. CaMSA’s goal is to facilitate the transition from classes to residency for Canadian students. By providing a strong connection for Canadian students in various stages of their education, including alumni currently completing their residency training and practicing throughout Canada and the U.S., the organization is an excellent networking opportunity. This even includes multiple Skype information sessions per term with Canadian physicians and students in their clerkships, providing first-hand knowledge and answering questions regarding clerkships, residency, licensure, etc.
In addition to the academic support, CaMSA promotes the celebration of Canadian culture with other students and is involved in various fundraising activities to support the local community in St. Vincent. Some of the events throughout the year include celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving, Canada Day, a road hockey tournament, and an annual Christmas toy drive for the local orphanage.
