Leading the Charge in Early Detection: How SJSM Students Are Pioneering Breast Cancer Awareness

At Saint James School of Medicine, our commitment to excellence in education and hands-on experience is shaping the future of healthcare. Recently, our Obstetrics & Gynecology Focus Group, under the dynamic leadership of Anum Hayat, held a transformative session on the early detection of breast cancer. Here’s how our dedicated med students are mastering life-saving practices:

• Clinical Breast Exams: Guided by the expertise of Dr. Vysochyn, our students are refining their skills in clinical breast exams, ensuring they can detect early signs with precision and confidence.
• Self-Exams: By perfecting the simple yet powerful practice of self-exams, our students are equipping themselves and their future patients with a vital tool in the fight against breast cancer.
• Imaging & Genetic Testing: With a deep understanding of protocols for different risk groups, our students are learning to provide comprehensive, personalized care that could save lives.

We are inspired daily by the leadership, dedication, and compassion our students bring to these sessions. These moments not only make us proud but also affirm that our students are at the forefront of shaping a healthier future. Together, they’re not just learning medicine—they’re making a real-world impact.
