Academic

Hello!

We are Katie and Tom, your Academic Officers this year.

We have multiple jobs this year! Firstly we are responsible for providing feedback from the student body to the faculty so if you have any feedback please let us know or fill in the feedback form. We will do our best to get the Clinical School to listen to us and try and make some changes!

We organise the excellent teaching awards – a chance for us students to nominate individuals who have provided us with great teaching this year. Please see the page for more information and fill out the form with your nominations!

In August we organise an electives evening where the sixth years who have just got back from their electives talk to the fifth years to give them ideas for theirs!

Additionally we organise a variety of talks such as the Schwartz Round and the Piklington talk. We’ll be publicising these on facebook and on the bulletin as keep an eye out for them!

Nominations for this year’s Excellent Teaching Awards are open. This is your opportunity to nominate anyone that has given you great teaching for an Excellent Teaching Award. Whether they work at Addenbrooke’s, a regional hospital or at a GP; or are a lecturer, consultant, FY1 or GP, EVERYONE nominated will get an award, so it’s not a competition! The feedback last year from those who received an award was overwhelmingly positive – they really appreciated the recognition. There’ll be an awards ceremony for this in late 2019 – happy nominating!

Feedback is so important and is the only way to make the Clinical School change its (annoying) ways!

Student Voice usually happens during R&I week and many faculty members turn up to listen to us students so please come along to these!

Please message the two of us (on facebook or academic@nullclinsoc.co.uk) with any feedback or ideas and we will pass these onto upstairs and various meetings that we have with the faculty. Here is a link to a feedback form that you can fill in anonymously! Link is coming

Clinical years at medical school are undoubtedly the most fun and rewarding, but unfortunately medical students may be witness to concerning behaviour by tutors or other healthcare professionals.

Medical students have been described as ‘invaluable as the eyes and ears in a hospital setting’ by a GMC report, and it is important for all of us to know how to voice our concerns.

This outlined in detail on this MedEd page and you can always speak to Rachel and Anna as the ClinSoc’s Academic and Welfare Reps.
