Muslim Medics: Year 1 Coordinator

Hi everyone I am Arafat and I am running for Year 1 Coordinator.

The jump to medical school is hard, but the MM community got me through it. Tutorials, mock papers, and constant support from older years made a massive difference. This is exactly why I am running: to ensure the next first years get the same support and feel a real sense of togetherness.

Being a Fresher Rep showed me exactly how the committee works, so I know how to guide the new reps. For the academic side, my tutoring experience and building my AI educational tool, ImpulsiQ, taught me how to run teaching sessions, gather feedback, and help people learn effectively.

I want to bridge academic help and community support. My goals are:

  • Top quality MM tutorials: Ensuring this staple remains great for everyone.

  • Mock exam questions: Providing strong practice material for Year 1 exams.

  • End of year revision sessions: Running focused revision sessions near the exams to make sure everyone feels fully prepared.

  • Integrating and enhancing the buddy scheme: Having 3 buddies gave me great advice and friendships, making first year less daunting. I want to help older years build this rapport with freshers.

  • Collaborate with fresher reps: Gathering honest feedback and running joint social events alongside social secs.

I am organized, ready for the background planning, and excited to give back to the society that helped me so much.
