Medicine (UG): Phase 3a Academic Representative

Hey, I'm Yazz! :)

As an Academic rep (3yrs), I have consistently supported our year to guarantee issues are resolved ASAP with swift replies. I recognise how faculty work, have analysed & presented feedback and know how to amplify the student voice to implement substantial changes!

Having been ICSMSU Academic Chair for the past year, I attended the Y5 SSLG meetings so know exactly what issues the previous year encountered and understand what issues could arise this year so we can solve them.

Therefore, I'll be honoured to be your Y5 (Phase3a) Academic Representative to support your transition back to clinical years and ensure you succeed academically (especially with Path on the horizon)!

I’ve personally made numerous changes:

  • Y3 Placement standardisation
  • PVB OSCE station support
  • Support for Travel Reimbursement
  • Year Group Teams
  • Retake Advice Scheme
  • Updated MedLearn
  • and more!

MY AIMS:

  • Lobby hybrid teaching (online option available)for pathology weeks
  • Ensure improvements to path teaching and structuring of lectures (based on mixed feedback last year)
  • Continue to ensure placement standardisation in terms of structured teaching and consistency (esp at Hillingdon where issues occurred last year)
  • Transparent & active communication with faculty & update cohort with progress/updates
  • Ensure all notes/resources from previous year/s are sent to AOCY to be added to notebank
  • Ensure Mock PACES, which will be collaboratively organised with faculty, is representative of our summative PACES
