Hi everyone, I'm Kertu, and I'm moving into my third year of medicine. I'm running for Pre-Clinical Representative because I clearly remember what it's like to be in the earlier years and wanting to explore psychiatry.

My main goal is to make Psyched engaging and accessible for Gateway, 1st, and 2nd-year students. Having recently navigated these years, I understand the curriculum context and student perspective. I plan to help organise events tailored to this stage – perhaps myth-busting sessions, accessible talks on specialties, or workshops linking early learning to clinical practice. Crucially, I want to listen to what pre-clinical students themselves want to see.

Beyond events, I will ensure opportunities are communicated clearly and effectively to these year groups. I aim to be a friendly, reliable, and easily approachable point of contact for any pre-clinical student interested in psychiatry, reflecting the society's supportive ethos. I'm organised and committed to fulfilling the responsibilities of the role diligently.

Thank you for reading my statement. I hope you will consider voting for me as Pre-Clinical Representative.
