Amena Shaikh
My name is Amena Shaikh, a second-year medical student, and I hope to represent all students across the medical, dental, and nursing school.
As your representative, I share the same goal as you—to excel as healthcare students. I’m committed to ensuring that our voices are heard, and that meaningful, positive changes are made. Here are just a few key areas I hope to improve:
Clinical Skills Practice with Senior Mentoring
More organised structured, low-stakes clinical sessions, covering skills like ABGs, and suturing led by senior students that can mentor and coach simultaneously.
More International Partnerships & Electives
Advocating for clearer, more accessible information on international electives and improving promotion of past student electives increasing fairness and accessibility.
Networking & Career Events
More tailored networking sessions for healthcare students to connect with professionals and explore career pathways within out with healthcare.
Bigger & Better Study Spaces
Expanding and updating library facilities, with dedicated social, group, and private study areas within the medical and dental schools.
Improved Campus Facilities
Increased regular maintenance and updates to the medical and dental buildings, ensuring better accessibility and reducing disruptions and early closures.
Vote Amena for a stronger, more connected, and more supported student network!
