Maysam Al Asedy on Designing a Culture of Wellbeing in Medicine

Maysam has championed medical student wellbeing through research-backed initiatives like “wellbeing days,” allowing students time off without explanation. As Curtin Association of Medical Students’ first Equity Director, she ran mental health events, formed a wellbeing working group, and served on the Education Committee for three years, advocating for flexible attendance and free access to study resources. These efforts earned her an MWI Scholarship. In this episode, she joins Dr Sam Hazledine to discuss how collaboration and innovation can transform student wellbeing across medical faculties.
