AGM MATERIALS:
When Tom Colina [DMD/89] became the first Filipino dentist to open a practice in Winnipeg in 1993, he didn’t see it as a significant milestone.
The year was 1991. Dr. Shannon McDonald was working as a cashier at a Winnipeg grocery store when she made the life-changing decision to pursue a degree in medicine.
What does it take to land a job at a high-profile pharmaceutical company like Pfizer? For Daryl Fediuk [B.Sc.(Pharm.)/03, PhD/12], it all started 24 years ago with a summer job in a UM lab.
