Tanya Jayakar

Hi I'm Tanya and I have been GEMS secretary this year and really enjoy this role.

I would love if you would consider me for president next year! - I feel that I would be able to contribute to this role as I have lots of experience teaching, leading and being on the GEMS committee.

This year, I have delivered 7 lectures so far with MM, Meded, PotMed and Pharmsoc for both 1st and 2nd years on topics ranging from Dev&Ageing to structural heart diseases. I love to teach and in my 2nd year I helped organise and promote radiology soc tutorials and this year I am a Meded PassPom crash course lead where we will organise POM tutorials for 1st years. I hope to bring this experience to the soc and as president would like to create a teaching series based on geriatrics cases.

As president I would be more than happy to support all members of GEMS society. I am hardworking and have learnt how to better manage my time as I am on committee for 8 different CSPs this year! I have also participated in the meded SSC as part of 3rd years student selected component which has helped improve my teaching, teamwork and leadership skills, which I would use in my role.

As president I would love to raise awarness for this really underated specialty - We'll all be old one day!!

I hope to be a good president and that you'll vote for me. Thank you! :)
