Anna Rzepka
My name is Anna, I am a 4th year medical student at Queen's University. Throughout my educational journey, I have been involved in mentorship and initiatives focused on student connection. During my clinical years of medical school, I have noticed challenges in maintaining a sense of connection and community among medical students who are travelling across the country for clinical rotations. This has inspired me to develop a platform for students to connect and share resources in a centralized fashion. I am grateful for the support of the Sprout Ideas Fellowship to allow this vision to come to life.
MedMap: Connecting medical students through clinical rotations
MedMap is an interactive digital platform designed to connect medical students throughout their clinical rotations. Students can share placement locations and dates to find peers nearby, coordinate housing and rideshares, and build connections while away from their home institution. Following a rotation, students can contribute anonymous reviews and practical tips, creating a shared resource that can be passed between cohorts and help future students plan their own clinical experiences.
