Taylor Murie won the Dr. Sarita Verma Award for Distinguished Leadership.

The fourth-year student at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University isn't sure yet whether to specialize in internal medicine or practise family medicine in a rural setting.

Most recently, Murie was among five NOSMU staff and learners across Northern Ontario chosen for the inaugural Dr. Sarita Verma Award for Distinguished Leadership. During her first year of the MD program, Taylor became the west campus Year 1 Representative on student council, actively identifying and advocating for areas of improvement within medical education — a commitment she continues in her current role as west campus Year 3 Representative. Her efforts resulted in positive changes benefiting the student body, including the implementation of a more equitable clinical site selection policy at NOSM for Phase 1 learners.

"I think we can get really wrapped up in this. Medicine becomes the core of our identity, and I'm realizing that more and more as the training progresses. I think having things like the agility training with my dog, or walking classes with my dog, and going to the gym and things, are very critical too . . . I think you're a better physician if you also engage in things outside of your work and you demonstrate that work-life balance.
