A new student club formed to act as a networking portal for doctors enrolled onto the various MSc, MBA courses at the Business School and the MPH Programme. It will provide a common ground for medics looking to diversify their career and take-up challenging roles both inside and outside of clinical medicine. We plan to invite alumni and other guest speakers to the business school who were in our position in the previous years to share their experiences and also invite companies working in the healthcare sector for campus presentations and networking sessions. In the long term, it will become the connecting link between the business school and the medical profession by organizing talks to discuss issues that matter the most to healthcare. Watch-out for the dates and do join us or email any suggestions you may have to suraj.bassi08 at imperial.ac.uk or ayodele.kazeem08 at imperial.ac.uk.
