Murmur 2011

Abstract

This year, the Department of Medicine took the initiative of starting an annual project entitled ‘Beyond the School’, together with the third year medical students. The medical students are renowned for the long hours they spend studying in the library so the faculty came up with this bright idea of having a competition on what the students did medically related, but not part of their curriculum. This project’s title was incorporated as the magazine’s theme to try explore what medical students do when they’re not stuck to a book studying. This edition happens to be quite a chunky one since this magazine was not published last year. Students who dedicate such a large amount of time to studying because they want to become the best doctors. However, like any other University student, they also like to have fun, experience new things and look forward to the day they graduate. Murmur’s front cover was in fact chosen to instil in the readers an enthusiastic approach towards life.
