Student Council 2025-26
The IME Student Council was formed in September 2014
It acts as a student “think tank”, feeding ideas to the IME Board of Trustees on medical school ethics curricula, IME student membership, and student activities. The future has much in store for this wing of the organisation, with its members excited about improving ethical awareness in their respective medical schools and growing as a group.
Meet the current team!
