Student Life
The medic community is brought together under the leadership of the University of Warwick Medical Society ('Warwick Medsoc') who organise social events, Medics sports (so as not to clash with their busy timetables) and the yearly Revue whose function is mainly to poke fun at the Medical School and the NHS.
In 2005 a student-led project initiated Medics Without A Paddle to write an e-book containing free revision notes for all the 70-odd pages of objectives that students were expected to cover during their phase II clinical attachments. The material is entirely produced by the student body and a qualified previous student oversees new entries. This project was conceived of to promote co-operation between students in spreading the knowledge and experiences gained from a variety of sources and as of 2008 was in use at both Warwick and Leicester medical schools.
Since 2010, a group of Warwick medical students have started a medical education magazine and website called Med Quarterly.
There are a number of other Warwick Medical School societies, including:
- Friends of MSF
- KOP Warwick
- Marrow
- STEP (Society for Trauma, Emergencies and Pre-Hospital Care)
- Warwick BLS
- Peer Support
Warwick Medical Students have also been published in national, peer-reviewed journals and have given national presentations on various topics.
