| MUMUS Elections | ||
|
Hi All! It's time once again for that most glorious and noble of
processes, the democratic election of representatives to the 2009 MUMUS
Committee. This year's team has worked amazingly hard to bring to you a
smorgasbord of events including forums, seminars, medcamps, PFEs,
international food festivals, careers nights, fundraising events,
sports matches, plus the big one, still to come - the always-glamorous Monash Medical Ball, to be held on September 20th. We've also been
working hard behind the scenes in our representative roles, advocating
on behalf of fellow students on a University, state, national and even
international level, and had ridiculous amounts of fun along the way.
Being a part of the MUMUS team for 2009 is set to be the
experience of a lifetime, so if the idea of getting involved, meeting
lots of new people and sticking up for fellow medical students' rights
appeals to you, fill out a nomination form today!
Available on the MUMUS website, are the position descriptions for each of the roles within the MUMUS Committee. There are a couple of key changes this year: Senior
Sponsorship Officer will now be a paired position (4th and 5th years
are eligible) and the MUMUS Community and Wellbeing Officer role is
also up for grabs (our first ever C & W officer was elected earlier
this year).
So if you're keen to give back, get involved and have lots of fun, fill out a nomination form and send
it to mumuselections2008@gmail.com
by 5:00pm on Tuesday 9th September. The nominated candidates' visions
for MUMUS 2009 will be uploaded to MUSO over the 10th-11th September,
at which time voting will commence. Voting will close at midday on
Friday the 19th September and the winners will be notified then
announced at Medball on September 20th. The current MUMUS President
acts as returning officer and the elections are set up on MUSO by very
kind and patient faculty staff.
We have included the email addresses of all the current office
bearers, so please feel free to email them with any questions or
queries you have about any of the roles. Any other questions can be
emailed to mumuselections2008@gmail.com.
Clinical Site Liaison Officer elections will be held once
placements for Year 3 2009 are announced (current second year students
are eligible).
We will also be working with WILDFIRE, The University of Melbourne
Medical Students Society, the Bendigo Medical Students Association and
Moving Health (Melbourne's rural health club) to develop a model of
representation for the Extended Rural Cohort, so if you're an ERC
student, start thinking about what you'd like to see up and running for
next year! Email us at erc.model@gmail.com and stay tuned for an ERC forum where we can discuss potential ideas.
Thanks everyone, and best of luck! Being involved with MUMUS is a
fantastic experience and I strongly encourage you to consider getting
involved!
Cheers,
Claire Wise
MUMUS President 2008

If you could go anywhere in the
world, where would you go, and what would you do? Would you cross the
Indian Ocean and head to Africa? Or would you stay local and tackle the
issues on home soil? What about going north to Asia?
From Leprosy to AIDS, to providing the basics, our students have
travelled far and wide; globetrotting their way through the issues
facing global health today. There is so much to do, and in the life of
a medical student, it seems not much time. However, we hope to show you
in this issue, what is possible, and what a few dedicated students have
done to make the time, and make a difference. We hope to inspire you
and advise you, as to what you can do to make your mark on global
health. No effort is too small, and as you will see as you turn these
pages – every effort counts. |
