Discovering the Challenges

The Paediatrics Residency Program at the University of Manitoba faced the challenge of attracting and engaging new applicants while highlighting Winnipeg as an ideal destination for education, work, and life. Our task was to create a video that would captivate potential candidates and showcase the program’s educational environment and value proposition.

The Goal

Our primary goal was to create a video that would effectively highlight the program’s unique curriculum, faculty expertise, research opportunities, and clinical experiences. Additionally, we aimed to showcase the unique benefits and qualities of living in Winnipeg as a medical student.

The Storytelling Concept

To tackle the challenge, we collaborated closely with the program’s leadership, developing a powerful storytelling concept centered around a personal story. We chose to feature Dr. Amarjot Padda, a current Resident, whose exceptional experience with the program served as an inspiration for prospective applicants.

Dr. Padda’s personal story became the heart of the video, evoking emotions and establishing a connection with the audience. Through her narrative, we emphasized the transformative journey experienced by residents within the Paediatrics Residency Program. We showcased the mentorship, support, and hands-on learning opportunities that were integral to Dr. Padda’s growth as a paediatrician.

In addition to Dr. Padda’s story, we carefully integrated elements that highlighted the program’s curriculum, faculty expertise, research opportunities, and clinical experiences. By seamlessly combining these components, the video effectively communicated the program’s unique value proposition, while fostering a sense of community and camaraderie within the program.

It not only captivated potential applicants but also successfully showcased the program’s strengths and the vibrant qualities of Winnipeg.
