Society Head Appointment - Year 2
As part of MEDI7200, UQ-Ochsner students are required to attend two individual Development Coach meetings per year. In Year 2, your Development Coach is your Ochsner Society Head. Your first meeting will take place in person during our trip to Brisbane in April, and your second meeting will be conducted in September via video conference.
Attendance is mandatory for Year 2 UQ-Ochsner students to meet one-on-one with your Society Head.
To enable your society heads to prepare, the deadline for uploading your 1st Development Coach meeting agenda on MyProgress ePAD is Wednesday 26 March, 11:59 pm (AEST). This information is also posted on the MEDI7200 Blackboard course site.
Each Year 2 student has been assigned a meeting in accordance with their academic schedule. Travel time has been considered. You will receive a notification from the Student Hub appointment system. If the assigned time does not work for you, you can reschedule it by locating your society head below or via the link in the appointment notification. You will be able to modify your appointment until 5:00pm (AEST) Wednesday, 19th March.
