About Us
Hello!
You probably remember the day when you first arrived in Melbourne - searching for a phone plan, purchasing a Myki, unpacking your luggage in a rented apartment, and wondering how you will ever get that home internet set up.
Day by day, you find yourself turning into a coffee snob. You notice that you have been checking the weather more often than you check Google maps. During a Skype session with Mum, you find yourself saying “I’ve already booked a flight back for this summer break”, when it’s obviously winter on the other side of the hemisphere (for some, it’s practically summer all year round). You find yourself loving this little hipster city called Melbourne. And at some point you'll ask yourself, “Should I stay or should I go?”
If that sounds like you (sort of), you are probably an international student. Along with the other international students in your cohort, you make up that highly diverse 10% of the medical students here at Melbourne University. And as your international subcommittee, we want to serve you!
We want to provide that platform for the voices of international students to be heard. Following from the success of previous years, we will be organising our annual CV and cover letter night and internship information session, as well as many other social events to get to know your peers, juniors, seniors and alumni! Whether you are an MD4 stressing about your internship positions or a clueless MD1 just trying to make sense out of the whole situation, we are here to provide you with the most up-to-date information.
So watch this space and get involved!
