WELCOME TO NUI GALWAY
MEDSOC 2015/16!
Welcome to MedSoc’s introductory mini newsletter for 2015/16! Here, you’ll
find all you need to know for the months ahead, whether you’re preparing to
start another year of your studies, or just after accepting your offer to come
study at NUI Galway.
MedSoc is looking forward to an extremely exciting year ahead, with many
new projects in the pipeline! With the launch of our new website, keeping
updated on all the goings on in your course throughout the year has never
been easier! Our main aim is to make sure the student experience is an
enjoyeble one, with as little stress as possible. Thanks to our new “Survival
Guide to Medicine”; a student’s perspective on studying Medicine here at NUI
Galway, you’ll glide through college with ease!
Along with branching out on social media, we will be making sure to do
our utmost to promote a charitable atmosphere throughout the School of
Medicine, with many great events to come. As well as carrying on the amazing
work and events pioneered by the previous MedSoc committees, we hope to
bring you some fun new events too, such as our first EVER Med Day!
As ever, we here at MedSoc encourage a spirit of working together and
inclusion throughout all years, so make sure to get involved in any of our
events as much as possible! Read on through this issue to find out how you can
contribute to any of our projects, we would be only too delighted to have you.
With that, I hope you enjoy reading this issue, it’s only a taster of what we hope
will be our best year yet!

NUIG’S
MED DAY
2015!!
We are excited to announce the launch of MedSoc’s new website!
All your medicine-related needs are now just a click away! Visit
www.nuigmedicalsociety.com, where you’ll find all the information you
need to know about MedSoc as a society, our sponsors and charity
events throughout the year, as well as studying Medicine in NUI Galway
and student life itself.
The brainchild of our very own Fourth Med/Public Relations Officer
Caolan Coleman, the new site is bursting with content, from profiles on
the new MedSoc committee and news on the latest trips, to the first ever
Survival Guide to Medicine! In the guide is the lowdown on each year of
the medicine course, from pre-med to final med, passed on from
students who have just completed that year. If you’re looking for tips on
which tricky module to look out for or what books to buy, we’ve got you
covered.
Combined with the MedSoc Newsletter and our new accounts on
Instagram and Snapchat, there’s no way you’ll miss out on any of our
incredible events throughout the coming year! Visit us online and tell us
what you think!

MEDSOC GOES VIRAL!
NUIG’S MED DAY:
Small Change for Big
Change!
MedSoc will be hosting its first ever “Med Day” on September
23rd
!
Throughout the day, we will aim to raise as much money as possible
for this year’s chosen charities through bucket collections, bag
packing and busking throughout Galway City. Our aim is to set the
stage for an annual event, which will hopefully only get bigger and
bigger with every year!
We can’t do it without your help though, so here’s where you come
in! We are looking for volunteers from all years (especially pre-med,
first med and second med) to help out whenever they can on the day.
There will be prizes for the groups that raise the most money
throughout the day (and who doesn’t love prizes?).
We’ll have more info coming soon; to find out about our
chosen charities and how to get involved, check out our
website or email us at [email protected]
If you’re interested in getting involved in any of NUIG MedSoc’s
events, all you need to do is talk to us! Come along to any MedSoc
event (we’re very friendly) and chat with a committee member, or
contact us via:
www.facebook.com/NUIGMedSoc
We are always looking for budding writers to contribute to our
newsletter. If there’s something you’d like to see here, or something
you’d like to write about, let us know! Email our editor, Conor, at
