Election post
Hi! I’m Iman, a 2nd year and member of the welfare subcommittee.
Medical school is tough and sometimes all you need is a hug. For me, RUMS Welfare is the hug of UCLMS and I happen to be a great hugger. As Welfare VP, I aim to ensure all voices are heard, facilitating change in the medical school for the better, whilst celebrating and continuing its successes.
My main plans are:
-
Hug in a Mug
Placements, especially during clinical years, can feel isolating. Online ‘Hug in a Mug’ support sessions will allow us to connect, regardless of location. Sessions will be directed by your needs.
-
RUMS Family Reunions
Events to reconnect with your RUMS family termly, helping build stronger bonds. E.g. Big Fat Family Quiz.
-
Collaboration amongst RUMS societies and subcommittees
Enabling societies to support and learn from each other, through fun. E.g.
- Snack and Study; Academic x Welfare collaboration
- Music bingo; RUMS Music x Welfare collaboration
- Wellbeing sessions; Medics4Medics/ EDI x Welfare collaboration
-
Promote relatability via social media
Celebrating everyday us, e.g. Day in the Life can showcase our similarities, helping to alleviate isolation and stress.
Having roles, including being a welfare rep, Y1 academic rep and school pastoral lead, puts me in a position to holistically support, listen and advocate for you. I am great at collaborating, organising and getting the job done. As your next Welfare VP I will ensure everyone is heard, standing by my motto “No troll left behind”.
