CAPS will be hosting wellness nights ✨ every Wednesday from 6pm to 10pm in the library! The idea of this room is to have a safe space where you can relax, and unwind as well as take a little study break for some self care 💆‍♀️

Each week we will have a different theme ranging from workshops on what to expect when applying to residency in the US to movie nights and board games! During these evenings there will always be a student liaison/recent graduate present, in addition materials to allow your creativity to flow.

Our first wellness night will be on Wednesday 8th November at 6pm till 10pm in room 2.09 in the library, the theme being wellness through creativity 🎨

Keep an eye out on our Instagram for our future wellness nights as the room number/dates may vary or to know what we are planning that evening. Who knows it might tickle your fancy 👀

You are also welcome to join us if you want to get to know any of the student liaisons or want to know more about CAPS!

We hope to see you there 🌟

Hi everyone!
You are invited to participate in a research study, run with the help of PUMS CAPS, about feelings of depression and anxiety and coping mechanisms in medical students during their time in medical school. The survey takes between 5-7 minutes to complete in its entirety, is both voluntary and anonymous. The results will be used as a foundation to increased awareness and promote proper modifications in university resources and curriculum to maximize student wellbeing.
