Student Past Events 2021-2022

The year 2021-22 continued to be affected by the pandemic. Nonetheless it was a considerable achievement for the Executive Chairs to organise several well supported and enjoyable events. The first was a Meet and Greet bringing together new and more experienced students in a face-to-face evening. Rabbi Akiva Tatz spoke about genetics issues from a halachic and ethical perspective. A Chanukah quiz night followed, and in January Dr Adrian Tookman spoke about his work in palliative care and at the Marie Curie Hospice. At the Friday night dinner the guest speaker was a foundation year doctor, Dr Josh Silverblatt. Educational events included tutorials on topics such as prescribing and handling emergencies. Jnetics presented a promotion of their screening campaign. In addition, the Jewish Medical Association webinars were advertised to medical students on a regular basis.
