What steps will be taken to best ensure that the selection process for Humans of McGill Medicine and Dentistry is equitable?
​Humans are encouraged to self-elect to be featured and interviewees will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis. Submissions will be encouraged by advertising in the class Facebook groups.
Students in all cohorts are encouraged to fill out a nomination form to nominate their peers. Nominees will then be contacted and asked for their interest in being interviewed. Each interviewed Human will also have the chance to nominate 1-2 peers following their interview.
​
In a situation where there have been no self-nominations nor peer nominations for Humans of McGill Medicine and Dentistry, we will choose to amplify the story of an individual with a background (i.e. General: Medicine, Dentistry; Years: I-IV, Educational Background: Med-P, Undergrad, Masters, PhD, MDCM-PhD) previously underrepresented by our blog.
