Hari Prabhu

Hi everyone! Our names are Sudharshan and Hari, and we are third-year medical students running for co-Chairs of the Gastroenterology & Hepatology society.

Having gone through our placements in gastroenterology, we have developed a deep-rooted passion and a commitment to advancing knowledge in this field. We aspire to further improve the presence of our society, and some of the ideas we have include:

1. Establishing a conference where students can hear from leading gastroenterologists and attend relevant workshops
2. Creating a mentorship scheme linking students with experienced consultants or registrars
3. Running tutorials on gastroenterology topics, and collaborating with other societies to organize mock CPAs and OSCEs
4. Expanding on network of sponsors by actively seeking more organisations and individuals
5. Starting a guest speaker series that would serve as career guidance for members

More about us:

I’m Hari and I believe I am well-suited to the role having developed my communication, teamworking and organisation skills as Deputy BMA Rep last year. This year in my roles as Secretary of Indian Society & SORA, I developed my skills involved in managing logistics and helping coordinating events, and as part of SORA I chaired an intercalated PhD conference and gained experience with organising conferences.

I’m Sudharshan and I’ve been in the committees/subcommittees of multiple societies at Imperial, and have also gone through mandatory military service in my home country. I have thus developed the organisational and leadership abilities to run a society, and can collaborate with others well and work under pressure to deliver results.
