Project Medicine is a Registered Student Organization (RSO) at the University of Washington that provides a variety of events, resources, and programs to help pre-med and pre-health students prepare for their future in medicine.
External Communications Associate
During my second year in Project Med UW, I found that the board was too disorganized for my liking. I felt like I was the only one doing my job and finding opportunities for our members. I did the following things:
-
Hosted a Q&A session with a UWSOM student I met at Swedish Hospital
-
Developed and curated weekly MCAT quizzes, along with educational content for social media
At the end of the year, I decided it was time to part ways with this RSO. While I liked its mission, I had to prioritize where I would be spending my time the next year, and this didn't make the cut due to the lack of communication and direction among the board. ​
Freshman Representative
In my freshman year, the pandemic limited our ability to meet in-person and organize certain activities, so I did not get to do as much as I had hoped. However, I still participated in the following as the freshman representative:
-
Organized a clothing drive ​
-
Helped run a pre-med trivia event
-
Created onboarding materials for a mentorship program called Raise Guild
At the end of April, the team got together to play volleyball for a fundraiser ran by CRY (a club at UW that supports children's rights and education in developing countries). It was a great bonding experience, especially since I had only met the board members virtually before. I now feel more comfortable reaching out to the board, and this experience really showed me how important camaraderie is for working together as a team. Unfortunately, I also was reminded that I suck at volleyball :D
