MUMUS IN 2011COMMITTEES

The Full Committee, made up of 40 positions (some paired) will decide the big picture goals of MUMUS. What is our stance on the change in Anatomy? Where should Clinical Skills teaching go? Should we give our money to charity? Should we make a profit on events? How much should we spend?

The Executive, made up of seven positions, will oversee the day-to-day running of the society and ensure the financial and legal obligations of the society are met. They will oversee expenditure, contracts and budgets. They will also be available for escalation of issues, either with Faculty, specific sites or within MUMUS.

The bulk of the work of MUMUS will be undertaken in smaller committees, which will increase efficiency and productivity. These committees include and Academic and Social committee, and a variety of sub-committees: AMSA, Community and Wellbeing, International, Global, MUSIG, Publications, O-Week/MedCamp, Graduation, MedBall and MUKEG.

All positions in this document shall share one vote on Full Committee with the exception of the Major Event Coordinators, who will be observers to committee only.

MUMUS ELECTIONS

This year, elections will take place in a slightly different manner.

- As always, year level reps will be elected directly by their own year. - The seven executive positions will be elected by a committee made up of year level

reps, based on a cover letter and CV. - Subcommittee chairs will be elected by vote, and will in turn appoint their own

subcommittees. This may be via election (as in MUSIG) or open to all (as in AMSA ThinkTank or Community and Wellbeing).

- The roles of Sponsorship, Marketing and IT (herein grouped as ‘Core Roles’) will be selected by the executive based on prior experience and skills – after all, we want to make sure our marketing reps can design a poster and our IT reps can code a website!

- The four Major Event Coordinators (O-Week/MedCamp, Med Ball, Med Revue, Graduation) will be selected by the Executive based on applications. This mirrors the current procedure, for instance in selecting a Med Ball organiser.

With the new structure of Academic and Social Committees, together with existing subcommittees, the bulk of MUMUS’ work will occur outside of the executive, by your directly elected representatives. These committees will also provide the bulk of MUMUS’ direction. The Executive will move from being the MUMUS workhorse to have of an oversight and administration role.

This change has been made so that MUMUS is able to function more efficiently. Furthermore, it will ensure the best person for the job is selected, allow for more detailed applications and a more thorough consideration of candidates for positions. A similar

process is applied in various situations. Many Medical Student Societies around Australia have a mixture of election and selection. AMSAvic has its representatives elect their chair. AMSA’s councillors elect the new executive. Even state and federal parliament elect their leaders and cabinet internally! We believe that this process is still extremely democratic, with over 70% of the voting members of the 40-strong committee being directly elected.

The other main change will see two distinct election periods. Aside from this year, the executive will be elected early in July, allowing for a time of shadowing, learning and forward planning. In future, year level reps will be elected in September/October. Through this process, there will be better continuity within MUMUS, and projects may be able to span across the calendar year.
