Paediatrics: Academic Officer

Hi everyone, I’m Harini, and I’m running to be your Paediatric Society Academic Officer! I have a strong interest in paediatrics and want to use my experience in medical education and event organisation to deliver high-quality academic events.

Why Me?

✅ Proven Experience in Medical Education – As MedEd BRS Phase 1A CrashCourse Lead, I organised a structured, high-yield lecture series, recruiting 20 lecturers and providing interactive sessions and practice questions, receiving excellent feedback. I will bring this same approach to Year 5 PACES lectures, mock exams, and career events.

✅ Event Planning & Logistics – As Head of Sponsorship for Imperial Tamil Society last year, I liaised with businesses and helped organise large-scale events, developing skills in securing speakers, examiners, and smooth event coordination.

What I Will Do:

📌 Structured PACES lectures and mock exams – Realistic exam-style stations, clinical-skills support and targeted feedback.
📌 Collaboration with other societies – Expanding mock exams, revision resources, and career events with MedEd and other specialty societies.
📌 Enhanced Meet the Paediatricians event – Small-group networking with paediatric doctors across various sub-specialties.
📌 Portfolio & Career Planning – Guidance on paediatric training, applications, and portfolio building.

I’m committed to making Paediatric Society’s academic events well-organized and invaluable for both aspiring paediatricians and those seeking exam support.

Vote for me! :)
