Within Cardiff University MedSoc, one goal is to provide academic support for students, both in terms of revision of course content and looking towards the future of students’ careers.

Within the last month Cardiff MedSoc have organised a mock Year 4 ISCE, attended by 180 students, a Clinical Careers Evening featuring 29 specialities and attended by approximately 100 students, as well as multiple peer-led revision sessions aimed at students in phase 1 (previously termed ‘pre-clinical’).

Cardiff MedSoc are proud to maintain close links with medical school staff, and hold positions on the Undergraduate Board of Medical Studies (UBOMS), the Education Committee, the Professionalism Committee, the Equality and Diversity Committee, and have recently been invited to advise the Admissions Team.

Jessica Randall, Medsoc President, 2019/20 said: “The medical school actively considers student opinions, and we’re privileged to have a direct impact on policy decisions. Our academic team, including an academic chair and representatives from each year group, have regular meetings with the medical school to discuss course content and assessments, ensuring student feedback is acted upon by staff.”

Marcus Powis, MedSoc Phase 1 Vice President, 2019/20 said: “Excitingly, we continue to provide a range of social events throughout the year, including a Freshers’ Ball, which acts as a welcoming introduction to university for the new first year students. Our annual Christmas Ball, attended by members from all year groups, is always a nice way to end the term and truly get into the festive spirit!

Other fun activities include karaoke nights, pub quizzes and we hope to expand our social calendar to include booking out a cinema screen and trampolining events!”
