CALLING ALL ALUMNI!!!

Hope all our lovely grads are doing well and enjoying doctoring!

We are running a mock osce for finals and we need your help!! We would love to have doctors examining to provide the best possible feedback for our students.

The mock OSCE is running 19/20/21/22nd Feb at the medical school, from approximately 6-9pm (hopefully an earlier finish - exact timings will be sent out a few days before!) and pizza provided for all volunteers! If you are free, we would be super grateful for any help. More info in the description of the signup genius!

There are also opportunities to write stations, please email [email protected] or DM us if interested! Certificates will be provided for both station writing and examining, to build your portfolio.

They provide accommodation, financial support, legal information and other aid, and aim to give their clients back the dignity they deserve.

If there's a charity you'd like to see MedSoc raise money and awareness for next, please fill in the form with their name, web address, whether they are Sheffield-based, and a brief description of their work and why you think they'd benefit from being our charity of the year.

Hey, Final Years! 💙💛💙

It's almost time for your Mock OSCE!

This will take place on the 6th, 7th and 8th March at the Medical School - please arrive for registration at 6pm on B floor. You will receive an email with room allocations and an introduction video a day or two before the event, so please keep an eye on your emails.

Sign up here: https://m.signupgenius.com/ #!/showSignUp/70a0f4aacab2ba6f94-finals (please read the description!)

We will also have a Mock SBA-style session very kindly run by Dr James Gray, which will include a 40-question Mock Paper that will be sat in exam conditions, followed by a short break and explained answers. This will be at 6pm at the medical school and we will allocate you to either MLT1 or MLT 2 upon arrival. If you usually have extra time, please inform one of MedSoc on arrival so we can make sure you get this.

Both the MOSCE and the Mock SBAs have elements that will be included in Dr Gray's PhD research - again you will be sent further information via email and please read this prior to the events taking place.

Finally, we know finals season is super stressful so please look after yourself at this time. Taking care of your wellbeing and mental health is just as, if not more important than anything you are doing to prepare, so make sure to take breaks to do what you enjoy!

Good luck!
