It was so cool helping out with the Papapalooza yesterday! The event provides pap smears for people with cervixes who are due for screening, but don't have a GP. This was put on by med students & GPs at the Seymour Health Centre! See future events here: shorturl.at/efkmn

Thank you to Parksville-Qualicum Independent MLA @AdamWalkerBC for meeting with us medical students on the topic of overcrowded ERs! We discussed the need to increase training spots for ER docs, and invest in community resources - Primary care, mental health, & long-term care!
