Jonas Szelewicki, ‘19 BSc, ‘23 MD

Medicine Representative

Jonas has completed the “trifecta” of his training at the University of Alberta, from Bachelor of Science (2019), to Doctor of Medicine (2023), to his current medical residency in Diagnostic and Molecular Pathology.

Throughout his training he has been a long-standing advocate of his now alma mater, such as during his six years as UAlberta Ambassador. In this position Jonas led 60+ campus/residence tours for students from around the globe (and so has campus fun facts galore)!

Jonas’s advocacy work is personally meaningful. As fYrefly in Schools Panelist of U of A Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services from 2016-20, he shared personal stories as a member of 2SLGBTQ+ community to Edmonton school students and future teachers in University of Alberta Faculty of Education classes. Having a twin brother with disabilities, he is also an active volunteer with Special Olympics, helping coach numerous sport programs since 2016.

Jonas remains connected to U of A through his faculty, currently serving as facilitator for case-based learning for medical students from China of the Alberta Institute, an international collaboration between medical schools in Edmonton and Wenzhou, China.

Jonas enjoys swimming (waterslides are a bonus!), plant-based living, and public transit adventures.
