MSAIV (Medical Students Against Interpersonal Violence) is a student group that aims to promote and examine the role of medical students in addressing interpersonal violence as a medical and health issue through advocacy, education, and research. Learn more about MSAIV including examples of past events at
www.msaiv.org.
The leadership team for MSAIV is responsible for setting a strategic direction for the year (e.g. 2022 focused on sexual violence), planning and organizing learning opportunities for U of C medical students. Administrative tasks include applying for events funding from CMSA, monitoring emails, maintaining website, communicating with other MSAIV chapter(s), and ensuring handover to new leadership the following year.
There are no set expectations for the number or type of events that MSAIV plans each year. The leadership structure, workload, and division of tasks are decided on by each year’s incoming MSAIV team depending on interest, availability, and other commitments.
