VP Education
Medical education is constantly being modified to reflect the dynamic nature of healthcare, literature, technological advancements and the needs of the students. As VP Education, I communicate student concerns and opinions with respect to medical education and curricular changes to the faculty. Part of my advocacy work includes representing the student body in curriculum committees including MD Program Curriculum Committee, Hospital University Education Committee, and Student Assessment and Standards Committee (SASC). I also co-chair the Student Education Committee (SEC) to ensure collaboration amongst different student representatives. Additionally, I co-lead educational programs like the MD Longitudinal Academic Mentorship Program (LAMP) and Career Chats with the Office of Health Professions Student Affairs (OHPSA) to assist students in their educational journey. Lastly, I support students in curriculum development projects and ensure that their ideas put forth do not go unnoticed.

I am passionate about fostering supportive learning environments and believe education plays a critical role in shaping compassionate, competent future healthcare professionals.
Year Plan and Goals
As VP Education, my goals this year are to enhance the academic experience of medical students by providing accessible, high-quality educational programming. I aim to support peer learning through centralized resources, while fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
