A critical mass of volunteers is nowhere near being reached yet and this project is in serious danger of being cancelled.

Volunteer now, rope in some friends, cajole some PBL members and get the first medical student video archive in the world off the ground - it'll be a priceless addition to your Med student memories for years to come.

BACKGROUND:

Similar to the 7Up documentary concept, a MedSoc initiative starting in 2007 is a digital video archive of and for USyd Med students.

WHAT: Approx. 5 simple questions in 5 min. recorded in HD video (as honest, serious or irreverent as you like - this is not a grad. medicine entrance interview it's for YOU - to look back on in future years)

WHERE: Mackie Building (room to be advised)

WHEN: Semester 1 each year

WHO: volunteers to film, co-ordinate & collate, plus of course 1st years to answer the questions on video

For this project to be a success it requires a lot of input from as many students as possible.

We need volunteers now from Years 1 & 2 to to co-ordinate the project.  Other years are also welcome to help, but participation requires a presence at Camperdown for a few hours a week.

This is a big project so we need as many people as possible to share the load in any of the following roles: filming, collating, archiving, appointment scheduling, computer/IT stuff, writing legalese for documents.

N.B. Filming will start once a suitable number of volunteers is organised, however the project cannot go forward without a critical mass of volunteers and will be cancelled if not reached.

Volunteer today by e-mailing e-mail MediaOfficer [at] medsoc.usyd.edu.au

Keep a look out on this page and general e-mails for further updates (meeting and filming times).
