Positions Description

All you need to know before joining our team.

Here, you can learn more about the positions available in Harvey MedSoc’s executive team. As MedSoc is a recently-founded organization, the regulations and therefore the available positions and their descriptions are altered annually to meet the needs of the Harvey students.

A description of MedSoc positions are available below. To learn about these positions in more detail, please check the regulations.

The “Executive Committee” is defined as the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Head of Socials, Head of Academics. These positions can only be applied for by members of a previous Full Committee. In case no previous member applies for such positions, a first-time member is able to apply. Priority should be given to current applicants of the Full Committee

For the positions stated as “ACADEMICS TEAM” and “SOCIALS TEAM” you will be running for any position in that Team rather than a particular position inside the Team and your candidacy statement will define your election process for these particular positions inside the Team by the choice of the Voting Committee inside Harvey MedSoc to ensure positions are fullfilled based on candidates skills and experiences
