MedSoc - the Medical
Students' Society
Medsoc is a 150-year-old society run by medical students for medical
students and approximately 98% (over 1000) of the current students are
members. They aim to organise social events that fit around the
timetables of students who like to work hard and play hard! Medsoc is a
very active society, holding several large events each term, ranging
from summer barbeques to cocktail parties and the annual Spring Ball.

MedSin
Medsin-UK is a national network of healthcare students who raise
awareness of and take action on global health issues. We encourage
students to get involved with projects and campaigns that they feel are
important or under-represented at university and that relate to health
issues such as refugees, homelessness or HIV. Formed in 1997, Medsin is
a network of motivated healthcare students active in curriculum issues,
community projects, international exchanges, campaigns and conferences.
Medsin-UK is also the UK member of the International Federation of
Medical Students' Associations and is involved in arranging professional
and research exchanges with other medical schools in 91 countries across
the world.

Cutting Edge was set up in 2001 to promote surgery as a career within
the University and the Medical School. It is affiliated with the Royal
College of Surgeons and has a membership approaching 250. The society
aims to achieve its goals by promoting RCS and WIST events, organising
talks from surgeons in all stages of their career - both about
particular surgical specialties, and about surgical training in general
and by organising clinical skills workshops.

KAOS - Kids Action Over
Seas
KAOS is an international children's community action group set up by
medical students. They are volunteer led, and send and support their
volunteers to run projects in association with charities based in
Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia or Peru. KAOS raises money in various ways,
namely charity hitch hikes, club nights and charity collection pub
crawls. Last year over £13, 000 was raised! Volunteers get the
opportunity to have an international and community specific impact on
health awareness, poverty and injustice. If you're interested in getting
involved on any level - fundraising, project opportunities or project
assessment - please have a look at the website.

St Johns Ambulance (LMSU)
LMSU trains medical students to a very high standard, so that they
can go out on duty and provide first aid care to the general public. Our
training complements the medical school training, and has something for
everyone, no matter what stage of their medical training they are at.

Widening Access to Medical
School (WAMS)
This site was designed to help people through the daunting process of
medical admissions. Getting into medical school is not an easy task and
(quite rightly) demands a lot of motivation and dedication and a great
deal of specialist knowledge is required. Students at Leeds University's
School of Medicine realised that there was no one website which dealt
with all of those burning questions that you have, so they created one!
