Thomas Luo

Hi everyone, I am Thomas Luo, a year 4 graduate medical student. I stand for the Education Officer to provide academic support for all society members about the anatomy and surgical contents within the MBBS curriculum.

As the Education Officer, I will organise weekly alternating teaching sessions with SBA and OCAPE/CPSA contents for both preclinical and clinical year students. I will also liaise with UCL Anatomy Society to organise anatomy workshops in Term 1&2, primarily covering preclinical contents. For clinical year students I will organise specialty-based anatomy refresher tutorials. I will coordinate with Clinical Skills to provide surgical skills teaching like basic and advanced suturing sessions. I will oversee the production of Surgical CV and Year 1 Survival Guide. I want to invite doctors, especially UCLMS alumni, to give talks about study skills, CV building and surgical careers. Finally, I will help other committee members in organising events, especially international surgical conferences.

I have always been interested in anatomy and surgery. I have previously been in the 21/22 SurgSoc Neurosurgery Subcommittee and have published in the CNS journal Neurosurgery. I am also very familiar with the preclinical curriculum and have previously won the Prankerd Jones Prize in Year 2. I will be in year 5 next year and therefore I can also provide tailored help for clinical year students.

I sincerely hope you can support me to become the Education Officer. Thank you.
