Recognizing, the importance of maintaining an interactive, and inclusive presence online, Medical education at Imperial had improved through this supplementary resource tool. Currently, my responsibilities involve organizing and leading the team to ensure that the material released exceeds exceptional standards, and deadlines are adequately met. This is coupled with coordination with current academic societies, and senior medical students to ensure that our provided content inclusively targets everyone. Furthermore, as chair, I have created a vision to establish a complete question-bank for Medical Students to use for their independent learning, with aims in developing an online application. Students currently have access to quality checked, student-authored single best-answer questions that are uploaded daily on Instagram. These questions coincide with the current curriculum, ensuring that students are challenged appropriately, using this revision source to consolidate their learning.Social media plays an important role in medical education, its growing popularity means that it can be utilized as an effective method to target an increasingly tech-compliant generation.Collectively, as a team, we have released 6 mock examinations, and over 2000 unique single-best answer questions available to our year, to over 760 Medical students. Therefore, the ICSM SBAs team ardently believes that this vital revision platform will contribute to progressing medical education into the next generation. Show less
