UBC MED SLG

Student-led, curriculum-aligned, volunteer-built

Accessible support for every UBC MD student

One home for SLG review sessions, QBanks, mock exams, and study tools.

SLG was built so students do not need insider connections to access strong exam prep, high-yield explanations, and practical support from senior medical students. We turn coordinated student effort into free, structured, high-uptake learning resources.

Why SLG exists

Built to close support gaps, not create another gatekept network.

The problem

  • Senior-student guidance often depends on informal networks.
  • Faculty time for extra formative assessments is limited.
  • Students need more structured practice before high-stakes exams.
  • High-quality explanation-rich resources are not always easy to access.

The response

SLG organizes senior MD students into durable teams that build case-based MCQs, review sessions, anatomy teaching, pharmacology support, and technology-enhanced learning tools aligned to the curriculum.

Completely student-run, volunteer-based, and designed to stay sustainable.
