MEDICAL SCIENCES TRACK FEEDBACK 🩺

As the Fall semester has come to an end and the Spring semester approaches with new experiences, as track rep I would love to learn what you think about the Medical Sciencs track and its courses. This is different from the Course Evaluations you had to complete late December, as it is without the worry of professor scrutiny should you have something specific to say about a course.

All responses will be completely anonymous and help me in putting forth the good and bad you as a UCU student have experienced pursuing this track so as to help improve the track for you and your fellow students moving forward.

It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes ❤️

***ATTENTION MED STUDENTS AT UCU***

Have you been struggling to find a thesis supervisor? Are you interested in doing a thesis related to Pharmacoepidemiology and Clinical Pharmacology?

Recently, UCU Alumna, Sophie Bots reached out to let us know that her department and her are open to discussing possible student projects for your UCU Bachelor's thesis at their department!

You can check out their research page here: https://www.uu.nl/en/research/pharmacoepidemiology-and-clinical-pharmacology/research

They prefer if you have a statistics background and/or experience in statistical analysis, and know the basics in epidemiology (this includes the Biostatistics course, and Epidemiology lab!)

Sophie is willing to circulate your information within her department and accordingly help you out to set up with a project.

HER EMAIL: [email protected]

If this interests you, please send the email with:
- Your CV
- Short motivation on Research Interests
- Your timeline
- The thesis content requirements & rubric (posted on Blackboard! for the Pre-Med community)

A best of luck to all MED students in finding projects that suit their interests ☺️

Hi All!

Upcoming Tuesday (22th) during lunch break (12:45-13:45) the medical science track focus group will be taking place! The focus group gives you the opportunity to let your voice and opinions on the courses and general track be heard not only by the UC student council representatives but also by the track fellow! In this way, it is a direct way for you to express what you like and don't like or even miss in the current medical science curriculum at UCU. We aim to have a mix of first-year, second-year, and third-year students attending, so you do not have to be a pre-med major p***e as long as you have taken at least one medical science course! If you want to attend or have any questions regarding the focus group feel free to shoot me a message!

Take care!

Sophie

Hii Students!

I hope you are done with all your deadlines, exams, and papers, and for the ones that still need to work on their deadlines, I wish you the best of luck and hang in there!

Before you can enjoy your well-deserved break I kindly request you to fill out the feedback form for the Fall 2021 medical science track/ pre-med program. It only takes a couple of minutes and you really help me, the Student Council, College Hall, and most importantly yourself by identifying issues in the track that we can hopefully tackle and thereby improving the medical science curriculum here at UCU

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!!
