MEDICAL DINNER 2016
BSC (NURSING) 2016 GRADUATE SURESH S/O RAJASEKARAM REFLECTS ON MEDICAL DINNER 2016.
Medical Dinner 2016 was held at the Raffles City Convention Centre with the theme of celebrating the medical teaching community. Traditionally, this event has been planned and organised by staff of the Dean’s Office.
This year, the organising committee included student representatives from Medicine, Nursing and the Department of Pharmacy to provide fresh and exciting ideas from the ground up. The committee decided on a few surprise items in the night’s programme, including a flash mob performance that was executed with precision. The main highlight of this event was saying thank you to a very important group of people.
The core of medical teaching would of course be our educators, who tirelessly strive to ensure students receive quality education and training. So it was most appropriate therefore that the graduating Class of 2016 delivered tribute videos to thank their mentors. These mentors created memorable experiences of university life for their students. Many of us took away important lessons in and out of the classroom. In saying thank you, the students recounted how it was like for them to attend their very first lesson with a professor known to be the strictest around. Another student narrated how she felt during a practical session on delivering a baby: it was a session that came with all the sights and sounds!
Through the video, and the many conversations that took place throughout dinner that July 3rd evening, we were able to thank all our mentors for their great work and for making our learning journeys very memorable ones.
