Description:As medical imaging has progressed from the first basic x-ray to today's MRI, CT, and virtual endoscopy, the rapidly evolving field of radiology has proven itself fundamental to the practice of medicine. Appearing all around the hospitals from monitors in the brightly lit operating rooms to the more (romantically) illuminated radiology reporting rooms, accurate interpretation of images that encompass all shades of grey possible is essential for patient care. Regardless of your chosen field of medicine a good understand of radiology will be of importance. The goal of the radiology interest group is twofold. Firstly, to shed some light on the field, both as it is and as it will be, and secondly, to provide instruction to students on how to better interpret images and more appropriately choose imaging studies. We intend to achieve this through guest speaker series where experts in the field will provide an overview of the profession and workshops where students get additional lectures and a chance to try some techniques such as ultrasound hands-on. We also intend to provide educational resources to allow interested students to supplement their education as they see fit. We expect that this year the radiology club will radiate more brightly than ever.

About Us: The Heart of the City Piano Program is a non-profit organization that provides piano lessons for inner-city children. Originating in Saskatoon, the program now extends to numerous cities across Canada. As the Program expands to Vancouver, we hope to provide a chance for members of the community to share their love of music with children who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn how to play the piano.
Our vision: Our mission is to enhance the lives and learning opportunities for at-risk youth through a structured music program that continues throughout the school year. The Heart of the City Piano Program encourages students to make positive lifestyle choices. Through piano lessons, we will proactively address the issues of poverty and social justice by the advancement of a more equitable opportunity for disadvantaged youth to participate in music.
