Student representation • The student committee gives students a “voice” within the medical school. • A means for for us to express our opinions on all issues both good and bad, facing all students. • Joint advocacy between staff and students to continuously improve the student experience.
Student representation • Representatives from all 5 departments with the medical school: • PhD students & MD students • Home/EU students & international students • Our opinions are welcomed and most importantly valued at both school and faculty level. • Facebook group “Faculty of medicine dentistry and health: PhD student forum” • Open to everyone!
