Interesting Talk!

Hi all,

Main topic: Residential Training
Date: 22nd February 2010 (Monday)

Time: 3.45 p.m
Venue: LT2

From wikipedia:

Residency is a stage of graduate medical training. A resident physician or resident (also called a registrar in the United Kingdom and several Commonwealth countries) is a person who has received a medical degree (MD, DO, MBBS, MBChB) and who practices medicine under the supervision of fully licensed physicians, usually in a hospital or clinic. A residency may follow the internship year or include the internship year as the first year of residency. The residency can also be followed by a fellowship, during which the physician is trained in a sub-specialty. Successful completion of residency training is a requirement to practice medicine in many jurisdictions.

In other words, resident is the equivalent of Registrar/Medical Officer (MO). It may be included in years of housemanship (internship).

Warmest regards,

Jodie

Dear all,

There is a Student Lounge survey to be done - which is especially important because we need to (realistictly) until what time the student lounge should be open. We have got quite a mixed response on this so we would really appreciate your feedback on this! It will be closed on 1st of March.

Recycle Bins

As some are aware, there have been recycle bins placed around campus for over two months now. This was an initiative taken by Facilities and Management and SRC. We hope students will use them well and will only put the appropriate items in the appropriate bins.

The bins at LG, near the Canteen and Darts area are for Plastic, Paper and Cans.
The bins that are placed near the escalators are for Plastic only.
They are the round bins with the recycle stickers on them.

Gym News

SRC, the Gym Club and SSD are working towards improving the gym facilities. We have completed the maintenance of the current equipment and the airconditioner and placed lockers inside the gym for people to place their valuables in whilst exercising.

We are currently working on purchasing new equipment and improving ventilation.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
