Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Year 2 & 4 Academic Officer

Hi, I'm Durga - a 3rd year medic and I would love to be your next Y2 & 4 Academic Officer!

O&G is such a unique speciality, and ICOGS has really helped me appreciate its depth and complexity. Attending the annual conference this year really solidified my interest in the field while highlighting how warm and friendly the community is! I would love to contribute to this supportive and welcoming environment by joining the committee next year.

The ICOGS tutorials in Years 1 and 2 were really useful to me, and I would like to continue delivering engaging Development & Ageing sessions for the early years. With my passion for medical education and experience as a SHINE mentor, where I worked as part of a team to organise interactive lessons for primary school children, I believe I’d be the right candidate to organise tutorials that run smoothly and provide extra support where needed. And since most students' first experience with O&G isn’t until much later in the degree, I would also like to organise educational events targeted towards the early years to introduce them to the speciality and the breadth of women’s health.

I’m super excited to work with like-minded individuals, contribute to the society’s mission, and support society events to the best of my ability. I would really appreciate your vote! Thank you :)
