You could join, Men’s Football, Netball, Mixed Hockey or Women’s Football, you don’t even need a Medsoc membership.
Many of the Medsoc sports clubs enter the National Association of Medical Schools (NAMS) league which sees them compete against other medical school teams from across the country. It’s a great opportunity for those more competitive members!
