On November 4th 2015, Mass Gathering Medicine (MGM) invited Masters of Physical Therapy (MPT) students to assist in the organization of the Ankle Injuries and Taping workshop– an evening comprised of a didactic and practical session for interested medical students. This event was a first-time collaboration between medical students and seniors students within the Department of Physical Therapy. With a turn-out comprising of over fifty students, this event was largely successful and facilitated the delivery of a great introduction to acute musculoskeletal care- skills undoubtedly useful for future physicians. This collaboration was featured in the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia’s webpage and successfully sparked future interdisciplinary events for medical students involved within MGM.
