Clinical Services at MGM Events
Members of the MGM Interest Group are all involved in the provision of first aid and/or medical services at a huge variety of community events. We love it! We wish it could be our day job.
While we approach our academic pursuits from our clinical experience and passion, the MGM Interest Group DOES NOT provide clinical services at MGM events. Please see the Medical & First Aid Services contacts in the footer of every page to contact a service provider for a quote. All of the groups listed have collaborated on at least one event with the MGM Interest Group. Contact webmaster@ubcmgm.ca for more information about any of these groups, or to add your group to this list.
