Manifesto
Hello! My name is Shivani and I'm a third year medical student with an interest in decolonising medicine and health inequalities. The term 'BAME' refers to such a wide range of cultures and ethnicities, but I hope that I can understand and support all BAME students & promote your voices.
My goals as BAME representative are to:
-
Support cultural societies, encourage collaboration, and organise a joint event!
-
Raise awareness about health inequities due to systemic racism through discussions and talks
-
Support the Anti-Racism Steering Committee with decolonisation of the medical curriculum and campaign for students to be reimbursed for their decolonising work
-
Promote culturally sensitive events e.g non-alcohol based socials
-
Empower students (& bystanders) to raise concerns about racial discrimination
-
Advocate for BAME students' mental health e.g drop in sessions
-
Continue to spotlight events such as Black History and Asian History Month
My experience includes…
-
Decolonising and Diversity Events Lead, Becoming a Doctor
-
BL Paediatrics Society Vice President 20-21
-
BL Ophthalmology Society Events Officer 20-21
-
BL Tamil Society Secretary 20-21
-
BL Teddy Bear Hospital Events Officer 20-21
