MedTech Society: Vice President

Hey everyone! I am Olivia and I want to be one of your MedTech Vice Presidents.

Since I already have MedTech committee experience from being first year representative this year, I am familiar with the inner workings of this society. As a dependable and proactive committee member, I often take the initiative to do tasks outside of my required duties. For the mentorship programme I took on a lead role by introducing a new topic for the last week of the programme, assisting the coordinators with significant decisions and securing mentors from big pharma companies.

Therefore, I would feel confident as Vice President in making choices on behalf of the society to bring high quality events to members while maintaining the professional connection our society has to MedTech specialists.

Additionally, my degree, Medical Innovation and Enterprise, is flexible enough for me to dedicate a lot of time to the role and it connects me with medical start-ups that I would introduce to the society to provide field-specific insights and hopefully career opportunities.

As Vice President I would passionately oversee the organisation of the society to implement my many improvement ideas, such as: introducing events for innovation in MedTech by collaborating with ‘UCL Innovation and Enterprise’, ensuring the society has regular in-person social events and organising more independent speaker events to cover every field under MedTech.

I would really appreciate your vote!

Hi everyone! My name is Vanshita, and I’ll be applying to be one of the Vice Presidents of MedTech society.

As a Marketing officer this year, I’ve had the opportunity to learn closely how the committee works and really appreciate each and everyone’s immense effort that goes in. The society has given me exposure to the technological aspect of medical interventions and what the future holds for AI in medicine. My fascination in this field, and the experience and knowledge of biomedicine has led to me to my interest in becoming an integral part of the MedTech society. As the VP I will support the President and other members to improve and build on the success we have achieved so far as a society. With hopes to expand the scope of the society even further, I will work towards having conferences and workshops that will cater and benefit all the members of the society. I understand the responsibilities that comes with this role, and I am willing to give (more than) my 100%!

Hello everyone! My name is Sohum and I'm finishing my second year in Mathematical Computation. I'm running for Vice President and would love it if you could all take a minute to read my manifesto.

Being Vice President means assisting the president in all capacities and taking initiative.

I have been a member of MedTech committee for two years.

In my first year as a web officer, I had been helping with the MedTech website and our AI in medicine series, of which I had hosted a couple of talks!

In my second year as a technology officer, I have been helping with the Mentorship programme and the coding workshops.

I have gained insight into the inner workings of the society by maintaining regular contact with those in the senior team as well as other teams.

If elected my aims would be to:

• Run more events in collaborations with societies within UCL as well as MedTech focused societies in other universities in London to increase quality and outreach
• Ensure that there are more masterclass series so that members can develop their skills in Medtech related areas
• Run a startup programme, where users can test out their MedTech ideas

Doing what's in the interest of the society and its members is my mandate and that's all that matters. Promising commitment to the post and its responsibilities, I hope to be considered for the role of being Vice President.
