With the start of #MentalHealthMonth and in the midst of SUMS Blue Week (#SelfCareSUMS) take some time to share in the comments what you could do to start a conversation that could help someone. One comment will be randomly chosen at the end of the week (11:59PM Sunday 6 October) to win a copy of a book of that user's choice (between Talley & O’Connor’s Clinical Examination, Mechanisms of Clinical Signs or Why Patients Sue Doctors).

08.01.2022 In light of these unprecedented and uncertain times, the role of the medical student is evolving. This is especially true for final year medical students who may soon be able to enter into the NSW Health workforce as recently suggested by the Medical Deans of Australia and New Zealand (MDANZ). Whilst SUMS acknowledges the valuable opportunity and role our medical students may play, we will continue advocating for their safety and wellbeing. ... In light of this, SUMS is proposing 10 key criteria to be addressed prior to medical students joining the health workforce. You will find our position statement here: https://drive.google.com//1VYA_-hidPicWTdR1zieS9cD8k/view If you have any questions on this or indeed any other issues, please reach out to us on FB or contact [email protected]. We are always ready and willing to help. Please be kind and stay safe through these difficult times <3 - Your SUMS 2020 Team
