- Abstract
The Student Council (SC) at the Faculty of Medicine (FM) of the University of Maribor (UM) has recently been reorganized to build a long-term vision of student representation. This paper presents the operating scheme of the SC and highlights the importance of student involvement in FM UM’s development. The SC is the main official student body of FM, chaired by the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs. Students represent at least one-fifth of the members of the Faculty Senate (FS) and have two members in most of the Standing Committees of the FS. The Vice Dean’s Advisory Board (VDAB) is a new addition to student representation at FM UM, composed of the Head of Internal Affairs, the Head of External Affairs, the Coordinator of the Division for Student Research and Publishing, the Secretary, and the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs. The SC also leads two main projects. The longest-running project is Tutoring, which aims to pass on experience, knowledge, and clinical skills of older students to younger students. This includes introductory, subject-specific, and clinical tutoring, supervised by the Tutoring Coordinator, appointed by the Student Council of FM. The second project is the newly established Division for Student Research and Publishing, which promotes research and publishing work of students and organizes pre-clinical and clinical scientific research work at FM UM. In conclusion, the SC’s reorganization at FM UM has built a systematic and long-term vision of student representation. The SC’s projects, Tutoring and Division for Student Research and Publishing, additionally promote student involvement in the FM UM’s development, contributing to its overall success.
