SUMMARY:Prep for a Job Interview hosted by the FORT program
DESCRIPTION:The moment of truth has come. You sent your CV and cover letters and now you are being called for an interview… In other circumstances\, you would be relatively nervous\, but you are now living in Québec City and chances are the interview will be in French\, or at least part of it. No need to panic! We are collaborating with the FORT program to offer you the possibility of practicing your French interviewing skills. At the end of it\, you will be better equipped in terms of what kind of questions you can expect when interviewing in French\, and how to prepare your selling points in the aforementioned language. Now\, if your interviews are most likely to be carried out in English\, then by all means you can practice in English! \nThis activity is 100% free ! \nTo register please click here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:In These Spaces - History of Surgery
DESCRIPTION:Where does modern surgery as we know it come from? The answer lies in history. The history of modern surgery revolves around three themes: first\, the changes in the understanding of the body and its diseases; second\, the development of surgical techniques\, such as hemostatic forceps\, anesthesia\, or antisepsis; and third\, the changing professional status of surgical practitioners from craftsmen to scientifically trained and specialized doctors. \nLearn more during this conference broadcasted from our chemistry laboratory with Dr. Thomas Schlich and host Peter Black.\nMore information here: https://www.morrin.org/en/event/in-these-spaces-history-of-surgery/
