Back to School – Hannah Duyvewaardt

By Warren Brock on August 18, 2017

As the new academic year begins, we caught up with some of our Southern Medical Program (SMP) students heading back to the lecture theatres and hospital bedsides. Here’s one of our Q&As with Hannah Duyvewaardt:

Back to School ProfileHannah Duyvewaardt, 4th Year SMP studentĀ 

What inspired you to pursue medicine?
I wanted to have the skills and the knowledge to help people live the healthiest life possible, by either treating illness or preventing disease.

What am I looking forward to most for the upcoming year?
Fourth year is an amazing opportunity to explore Canada while increasing your exposure to specific areas of medicine. I am really excited for my northern rotations to experience the difference of providing healthcare in rural communities.

Best piece of advice:
Don’t be afraid to change your mind. I was 100% on a specialty until I finally recognized family medicine was the perfect fit for me.

What superpower do you wish you had?
No need for sleep!

Where would I like to get lost?
Somewhere with sand, surf and sun. Bali would do!
