Tennis Club (RUMS): Education Officer

RUMS Tennis is a very united club, and this foundation gives a great opportunity to hold open and interactive tutorials. My goal as clinical education secretary is to fill in the gaps where I think the medical students don't spend enough time on. This is especially CPSA-based content such as emergency scenarios which always come up in exams, and the more practical aspects such as examinations and detailed histories.

My previous experience includes being part of the Surgical Society Education sub-committee where I gave tutorials to younger years, and volunteering as part of the Next Top Doctor scheme to go round schools and teach about the application process for Medical School.

As clinical education secretary for 2024/25 I aim to:

 - Work with the pre-clin education secretary to hold weekly tutorials for RUMS tennis (alternating within year groups)

 - Hold sessions dedicated to practical skills which students often find difficult such as how to percuss properly and use a tendon hammer effectively

 - Focus on common CPSA based scenarios which will greatly benefit everyone no matter what module they are doing

- Continue holding mock CPSAs for all years

Education is not a side gig or something I take lightly. To me, being a Pre-Clinical Education Officer is not just a committee role; it's a commitment to shaping the minds that will dominate the court and exam halls of UCLMS. 

I envision a team where each member is equipped not only with a fast serve but also with the tranquillity and focused determination needed to outsmart opponents and secure victories. Where would this confidence stem from? Naturally from a profound understanding of I&D pathogens, neuroanatomy, Cushing's Syndrome, and UK abortion laws.

In my role as the Pre-Clinical Education Officer, I would do the following:

1. Introduce drop-in sessions for every module in years 1 and 2, providing you with insights into what to expect and enabling you to concentrate on your academic goals.
2. Revitalize the (somewhat neglected) legacy of tutorials for years 1 and 2, ensuring a robust support system for your educational journey.
3. Host two mOSCE sessions for year 2s
4. Share my personal insights and wisdom gained during my pre-clinical years, providing a fresh perspective that has contributed significantly to my academic success.

This is a joint nomination for Anaiya and Zahra for clinical education officer.
