I am standing because I am passionate about clinical education. I have been for a long time and it’s time to see change in the way clinical education is delivered!
For long medical society tutorials have provided a backbone to clinical year medical students but I feel they can go one step further. I propose we also do tutorials and small group teaching sessions on OSCE techniques with senior year students directly teaching younger year students. However, instead of letting senior year students decide what they will teach we make a central curriculum and based on that teaching will happen. This will ensure all younger year students receive the same quality of mentoring.
You can trust me to do a good job as clinical education chair as I have previously demonstrated my competence by delivering excellent teaching series when I was oral and maxillofacial society chair.
Hi, I’m Harini and I’m excited to run for Clinical Education Chair.
This year, I’ve been part of the Clinical Education Subcommittee, delivering high-impact tutorials rated 5/5 for usefulness. These sessions tackled challenging topics like haematology, and I’ve learned what makes a tutorial effective: clear signposting of high-yield, examinable content, and a focus on what truly matters for summative exams and clinical practice. One of the strengths of student-led teaching is our insight into what is frequently tested. UCL exams often differ from commercial SBA banks, which can cause unnecessary stress. By focusing on commonly examined topics, we can make revision more efficient and less overwhelming.
Another goal of mine is to introduce more frequent, realistic OSCE practice. UCL does not currently organise mock OSCEs for clinical years, and existing MedSoc circuits often do not reflect the actual exam format. I aim to change this by creating more comprehensive mock stations that combine history-taking, examination, and data interpretation, based on the UCL-released station list.
My ultimate aim is to help students feel confident, prepared, and in control of their exams—just as MedSoc tutorials have helped me. I’d love the opportunity to support students further in this role.
Hello!
If you’ve ever felt lost during clinical years, you’re not alone. I’ve definitely felt that way too. One of the things that helped me most were the teaching sessions run by older years, and now I’d really like the chance to give back.
As Education Clinical Chair, I want to focus on OSCE training in particular, because that’s where many of us feel the least prepared. I will work to expand peer-led OSCE circuits, provide regular practice opportunities, and make clinical learning feel more manageable and supportive.
