Helping restore a sense of normalcy to the medical school experience is top of mind for the new executive board of 十大菠菜台子威廉博蒙特医学院的 医学生政府.

So say the four board members who are preparing for the new school year with plans that include helping students get back into the swing of normal.

董事会成员是医学院二年级学生阿里·里达, president; Mackenzie Schmidt, vice president; Revelle Gappy, secretary; and Alex George, 财务主管.  

董事会是OUWB医学院学生政府的负责人, which serves as the official representative body of medical students to the OUWB administration, 教师, 博蒙特健康, 十大菠菜台子, 和社区. MSG generally strives to investigate, discuss, act on issues pertinent to the student body.

除了 to the four-person executive board, each class has four senators (see sidebar). Each class also has a member on the Organization of Student Representatives (OSR).

“I think one of the biggest challenges OUWB students will face this upcoming year is the transition back to in-person activities and classes,丽达说. “The class as a whole has gotten used to listening to lectures and attending meetings in the comfort of our homes and beds, 穿睡衣下装搭配职业装, 但不幸的是，这种奢侈将在秋季结束.”

“我希望利用我的职位, 与执行委员会其他成员合作, 以加强m1和m2之间的社区意识,他补充道.

其他MSG执行董事会(电子董事会)成员也表达了类似的观点.

“I believe a lot of students became adjusted to the online curriculum and may have a difficult time 适应ing to an in-person schedule,施密特说。. “I think it is important to recognize that although many students are excited about being back in person, it is also going to be a challenge for many students and we need to support our peers with these changes.”

想了解更多关于新的MSG电子板的信息，请查看下面的问答:

Why did you feel it was important to be on the MSG e-board, what do you bring to the position?

Rida: 在我的M1年里，我有幸成为MSG的参议员. 我喜欢我所扮演的角色，以及我们作为参议员所产生的直接影响, but I felt as though I wanted to work more closely with the administration to implement widespread change to OUWB. 以我以前的领导经验, I hope to be able to actively address any problem that may arise while also creating a warm and welcoming environment for all.

施密特: I felt like it was important to be on MSG e-board specifically to help our class navigate many of the challenges of this past year and upcoming year including having medical school classes online, 不能亲自见到许多同学或教授, 课程变化/第一步考试, 获得宝贵临床经验的机会也更少. There were a lot of changes this past year from a "typical" medical school experience and there will continue to be changes as we transition back to how things were before the pandemic. 我想在电子公告板上帮助促进学生之间的交流, 教师, administrators throughout this next year as well as to help students to support each other to avoid student burnout.

有缺口的: I have always loved being involved in student organizations and it felt natural for me to represent our school and contribute to its student leadership. I value a robust social environment and enjoy creating opportunities for people to get involved as well, 无论是通过小组委员会的立场, 社交活动, 或者“大兄弟小兄弟”项目. 我一直都是你的朋友，帮你安排每一次早午餐计划和度假旅行, so it felt fitting to be in this role where I have to do a good bit of logistical work. 

乔治: 我觉得MSG给了我一个了解OUWB教员的机会, 同时也表达了对我们学生群体意愿的支持. 我觉得我的目标是在医疗保健管理部门工作, being a part of MSG would help me understand the inner workings of our medical school, 尤其是从财务角度来看.

你觉得今年OUWB学生面临的最重要的问题是什么?

(里达和施密特见上文)

有缺口的: The Class of 2024 is in a particularly unique situation as we spend this next year making up for lost time from our M1 year. As we transition back into in-person activities and a hybrid medical education experience, 我毫不怀疑我们会调整得很好. 

乔治: It's no secret that this past year has been difficult for OUWB students and 教师 with all the virtual changes, so I believe that our student body is going to have to adjust to the idea of returning to in-person classes and events. For many students, this may be beneficial to their learning, even mental health. 但对其他人来说，这可能比我们去年承受的压力更大. 对于来袭的m1, 这种新的混合学习环境也将是独一无二的, 因为这不是OUWB以前实现过的东西. 除了, the incorporation of fully professor-written exams will likely cause many of our study habits to adjust accordingly.

你希望在电子公告板上完成什么任务?

(参见上文的Gappy)

Rida: The biggest goal I hope to accomplish in my role is to continue to increase transparency between administration and the student body through more interactive and informative Town Halls. I am also interested in increasing communication between the M1/M2 and M3/M4 students. Although it’s a bit difficult due to the differences in scheduling between all four classes, I think that all students would benefit greatly from having open lines of communication with their predecessors at the school.

施密特: 作为MSG的副总裁, I hope to be a leader for the student organizations and the MSG subcommittees through hosting several trainings about planning in-person events, 鼓励组织之间相互合作, 并将学生的担忧传达给管理者. I also would like to work with other MSG e-board members to clarify several parts of the MSG voting process that we had questions about this past spring. 

乔治: I hope to garner the trust of my fellow classmates to handle the responsibility of budgeting our student organizations, I also hope to be a resource for all OUWB students in regards to finances and MSG in general. 我也希望在我认为合适的地方提出建议, 在接下来的几年里, 财政委员会和财政部可以尽可能顺利地运作, 我也希望能成为明年味精财务主管的导师.
