Sheridan Hamilton (she/her) is a medical student at Dalhousie University in Saint John, NB. Her research experiences span molecular ecology, healthcare access and supports, and public health. She’ll talk about her past research experiences in biology (where she studied toxin-producing cyanobacteria and the viruses that infect them) and nursing (looking at access to a palliative approach to care in long-term care facilities and nursing workload during COVID-19 restrictions), and talk about some upcoming research in public health that she’ll be doing this summer. She’ll also share a bit about her journey to medical school; a (very very brief) overview of the application process, jobs/extracurriculars, interviews, and what it’s like to be a medical student.
