Raghul Rajchandar

Hey everyone,

I’m Raghul, and I am thrilled to be running for Secretary of Imperial’s Oncology Society. As a current representative of its subcommittee, I have organised renowned clinicians to present their integral research at surgical talks, liaised with speakers for our national surgical conference and moderated the Society’s lecture series taught by IMT doctors for preclinical medical students.

Advertising workshops for the National University Respiratory Conference and helping to run the International OesophagoGastric Cancer provides me with diverse administrative exposure, while co-founding Imperial Polygeia, a global health think tank society, has honed my skills in crafting opportunities for students passionate about oncology.

Since co-chairing my school’s Medical Society, I’ve had a profound appreciation for social interactivity and wish to incorporate this into our Society in future events. As MedEd’s Phase 1 lecturer, I acknowledge the vital role that mentors play in shaping students’ aspirations.

As your Secretary, I promise to:

• value our members at the forefront and ensure that adequate support is provided in elevating our society.
• collaborate with other societies to expand our reach and build deeper connections with Imperial’s Department of Surgery & Cancer.
• maintain open communication throughout the committee while executing high-quality events.

Ultimately, we are all united by our fascination with oncology and relentless endeavours to accentuate our knowledge. Vote for me as your Secretary, and I will work diligently to keep our members informed, engaged and inspired throughout the year, all the while driving positive change for the next generation of oncologists. Thank you!
