Thinking about joining MedQuest next year?

We asked this year’s students what they would tell someone considering MedQuest, and they shared their advice, favourite moments, and what made their experience so memorable! 🩺✨

Hear what they have to say and get a glimpse of what your MedQuest experience could look like!

Day 3 — Week 3 🩺💙

And just like that, we’ve reached the final day of MedQuest 2026! 🥼✨

Students spent their last day exploring the connection between chemistry and medicine with Dr. Christina Bottaro before heading into the chemistry lab for hands-on experiments and a fun tie-dye activity! 🧪🎨 Department of Chemistry, Memor

After a pizza lunch, students got a look at how innovation continues to transform healthcare and then put their creativity to work in the 3D printing lab, designing and printing their own initials.

The day continued with a resident career panel featuring physicians from Family Medicine MUN FMIG and Radiology. Students heard about their experiences, pathways into medicine, and what life is like in their specialties. To finish off the program, everyone put their knowledge to the test with one final round of medical trivia! 🧠

As we close out the final day of MedQuest 2026, we’re so grateful for the incredible students, mentors, physicians, researchers, and everyone who helped make these three weeks possible. Thank you to our final group of participants for bringing so much enthusiasm, curiosity, and energy to MedQuest! 💙

We hope you leave with new experiences, new connections, and maybe even a little more inspiration for where your future in healthcare could take you. 🩺🥼
