Hello, I'm Abichana, and I'll be running to be your next ICSM Vision Roadshow Chair!

ICSM Vision plays a vital role in ensuring that all applicants have access to the resources they need to navigate the increasingly competitive medical school admissions process. From my own experience, I understand how challenging it can be without the right connections or resources. Throughout my time in medical school, I’ve been actively involved in widening participation and have seen firsthand the importance of providing equitable access to guidance and support. I’ve volunteered at Vision MMIs, and supported mock MMIs for other societies. I led the coordination of the 2024 annual conference for In2MedSchool, another widening participation charity. I also took part in weekly school visits with In2MedSchool, providing guidance on the medical school application process for Year 12 students. This in particular has provided me with valuable insights that I am eager to bring to Roadshow, helping to expand its intiatives even further.
