ICSM Gazette Podcast ICSM Gazette

In our fourth episode, we sit down with third-year Simi Onanuga, the co-founder of the MedSchool Racism Instagram page, and discuss what has become a major phenomenon of ICSM over the past year. The page (which you can find here: https://www.instagram.com/medschool_racism/?hl=en) has gained thousands of followers and features deeply insightful accounts of discrimination in clinical healthcare settings. Simi tells us all about why the page was founded, how it has grown, and how this campaign is only going to grow bigger in times to come.

We'll be hosting interviews with the authors to hear about their writing process and discuss their ideas about the topics and themes they explore!

In our third episode, we bring you a very special interview with your one and only ICSM Students' Union! Hosted by our Events Editor Adil Ali, the gang covers all the topics that have been on every medic’s mind lately (circa Dec 6th 2020). From vaccines and UKFPO controversies to ‘snakey’ medic culture and how the ICSMSU President really feels about Adil’s choice (/quarter-life crisis?) of sporting a goatee – this episode has it all!
