This report outlines social and educational activities like ceilidhs and the medic families event, encouraging community engagement.
The Medico-Chirurgical Society (MedChir) host a range of social and educational events throughout the year on a Thursday night which are attended by students across all year groups. Kicking off the year is the Welcome Event; a relaxed evening the Glasgow University Union where you can meet classmates and get to know what the society is all about. A fortnight later, dust off those dancing shoes and show off those impeccable dance moves at their annual ceilidh. Want to meet new friends for life? The Medic Families event is a firm favourite, with hundreds of first years gaining Medic siblings and parents, who coach you through the first of medical school an beyond. Scottish and Northern Ireland Medical Students sports (SNIMS) is a fun two-night trip away to Dundee to play sports and explore the sights that Tayside has to offer! Finally, the MedChir ball at the end of November, is the perfect way to dress up let off some steam before the Christmas exam fun.
