Hi, I’m Isaac, and I’m excited to apply for the role of Medical Education Representative for GP Society! As someone hoping to pursue a career in General Practice, I’m passionate about making primary care teaching as engaging, accessible, and supportive as possible for our fellow students.

If elected, I’d love to build on what the society has done in previous years by increasing the number of educational events available to students. In particular, I’d like to introduce primary care-focused teaching sessions during exam season for third and fourth years as well as building on the already successful MOSCES. I know from experience how valuable it can be to revise with a clinical focus, especially for topics like primary care that sometimes don’t get as much attention during revision. These sessions would offer a relaxed space to brush up on key student selected topics ahead of formative and summative OSCEs and written exams.

I’d also love to explore the possibility of reintroducing a group visit to the RCGP Annual Conference which the society last attended in 2023. I believe it would be a fantastic opportunity for students who are interested to learn more about current issues in primary care, network with professionals, and gain inspiration for their future careers — all while representing our medical school on a national stage.

I believe this role is an important way to give students a stronger voice in how primary care is taught and supported within our curriculum. Myself and the other elected representative would make it a priority to listen to your feedback and work with the rest of the committee to ensure our events and resources reflect what students actually want and need.

Thank you for reading my statement and I would be incredibly grateful for your support!

Hello everyone, I'm Hrishita and I'm going into 3rd year medicine and would love to nominate myself for this role as a medical education representative. I believe that this is a fantastic opportunity to become a member of a highly established society that plays a crucial role in supporting medical students throughout the course.

Over the last 2 years, I have developed a keen interest in general practice, having been situated at an extremely diverse and interactive primary care placement where I was able to learn from a range of professionals and consolidate my clinical knowledge. I understand that clinical revision is important for OSCE's in third year and beyond, thus I hope to work with the other elected representative to make events as impactful to your learning as possible by listening to feedback. I aim to work collaboratively with my peers in the society and perhaps engage with other medical societies in the future too.

As your medical education representative, I would be approachable and willing to take on any requests from peers to help organise mock OSCE's to ensure a safe and inclusive community. I truly believe primary care is an extremely diverse field of medicine that provides flexibility and being a part of this society would enable me to meet people with similar interests and ideas that would help thrive the community further.

I would also love to attend the annual RCGP conference as part of this society, as it would be a great opportunity to gain insight into the core values of primary care and network with general practitioners on a national platform. This is something I know is challenging for students, so would be made accessible through this conference, where there will be a community of passionate people.

Thank you for reading my statement- I would truly appreciate your vote as I am highly interested in general practice!
