Even on graduation, med school is faculty-centered. We voted for who would hood us+faculty awards, but the faculty we elected didnt get to be hooders/awarded. Instead, the deans office overrode our votes+chose who THEY wanted. Toxic,self-nominating faculty got honored while our favorites got nothing
Even on graduation day, med school is so faculty-centered. My class got to “vote” for who would hood us, a tiny thing that should’ve been ours on our graduation day, yet the hooders weren’t who we picked...... the dean’s office chose who they felt deserved it. There are also college of medicine teaching awards that are supposed to involve student input yet it was the same story. Our votes didn’t matter and the deans office picks the most toxic, insufferable, self-nominating faculty to get praised, and the teachers we actually love (and voted for) never see a shred of recognition.
I know this isnt a huge deal but its just frustrating that even tiny things that should’ve been ours are just performative. Everything “student-involved” ends up just another platform for faculty ego.
