Move of the MDLs - Vision For Medicine Q&A
2021-02-22 18:00 | Sir Alexander Fleming Building, Imperial College Road, London, SW7 2BB, GB
Link Above! ^
Back in December, the Faculty of Medicine announced the Move of our MDLs into a separate building, as part of the next step in the series that makes up their “Vision for the Faculty of Medicine”.
You can read our original statement on the matter here: https://mailchi.mp/imperial/icsmsus-statement-on-the-loss-of-safs-mdls
The Faculty of Medicine are now hosting a Q&A session on the Move of our MDLs and their Vision for Medicine.
They will be hosting this as a Teams live event.
We would like to take this opportunity to build a constructive dialogue between the Faculty and students, and for students to put forward their views on changes and improvements to the medical school experience. We believe strongly that this should be a two-way process, and that students should have a loud and active voice in influencing the direction the Faculty of Medicine takes.
So bring your thoughts, opinions, support, challenges and ideas. This is a time of great change to our course and the School, but we have a chance to design the future of education at ICSM and it’s important we have a voice.
