Calgary Medical Students Association

Last but certainly not least, your VP Finance and Operations: Antonio Chemello!!💰

Antonio completed his Bachelor of Science in Immunology and Infection at the University of Alberta before moving to Calgary. He ran for the CMSA because he wanted to serve his class and ensure the CMSA works for students. As VP Finance and Operations, he hopes to make his portfolio more efficient, accountable, and transparent. He hopes to be a welcoming point of contact for any questions about the CMSA, especially finances!

Outside of class, you might find him at an ice cream eating contest or at the curling club. Antonio is chronically in the kitchen, where he often cooks an elaborate meal (think deep dish pizza and cinnamon twists) instead of catching up on cards. When ‘trapped’ in his apartment, he will find time to play video games like R.E.P.O., Hearts of Iron 4 or Civilization 6.

He recognizes the trust he has been given in this role and is committed to representing students’ interests on council. He is always happy to hear from students and wants to provide clear, transparent access to CMSA finances for all University of Calgary medical students!

Meet your CMSA VP Community & Global Health, Sara!! Sara is a medical student in the MD/MSc Leaders in Medicine program with a strong background in community-engaged research, health equity, and AI systems. With lived experience as a refugee, she is deeply committed to advancing equitable access to care and amplifying community voices in health systems.

She’s a proud 5:30am riser (yes, on purpose), and you can usually catch her at the gym, doing yoga, or trying and surviving spin classes before most people have had their first coffee. You’ll also often catch her experimenting with new recipes; she likes to think she’d be a chef in a parallel life.

Sara is incredibly grateful to be part of the CMSA and excited to serve as your VP Community & Global Health. She values collaboration, approachability, and meaningful engagement, and is always open to connecting, listening, and working together to support communities locally and globally.
