Internship Allocation Process Survey
The increasing number of Victorian medical graduates is placing significant pressure the availability and allocation of internship positions. The aim of this survey is to find out what senior medical students think about the current internship allocation system in Victoria as well as some proposed changes that could be implemented in the future. The results of this survey will help guide MSCV’s representation of student views in the ongoing review and reform of the Victorian internship application and allocation process.
This survey will be emailed to you for you to complete if you are a medical student enrolled at Victorian medical school and are currently completing, or have completed, your penultimate year of medical studies.

Sports Day Results
Congratulations to all teams who battled it out at the recent MSCV Sports Day Dodgeball competition. After 19 hard-fought Dodgeball contests, 40 pizzas devoured and a few injuries sustained, the results are as follows:
1. Globe Trotters (Monash)
2. Deakin 2 (… Deakin)
3. Balls Deep (Deakin)
The winners went home with a ridiculously large trophy, runners up with lollipops and medals. Thanks to Pete Verbeek, Monash student, for his work in organising the event.
Thanks to all who came along to play, or spectate, and we hope to see you at an MSCV event again soon!

MSCV Sports Day
16 teams, one champion.
MSCV is proud to present its annual sports competition, this year taking the form of a Dodgeball tournament.
16 teams of 6 from 4 different Universities will fight it out for the trophy and the glory of their University. Click here for a map of the area and here for details for teams.
A full set of rules can be found here, however a brief summary is available on this link http://www.youtube.com/wat?ch?v=GQqkQKde_kU&feature=r?elated
Aside from the winners trophy there will also be awards for best dressed team and best cheers squad, so bust out the sewing machine and get your friends along to cheers their hearts out! All this at no cost!
There will also be some form of nourishment provided, most likely in the form of Pizzas, but that is to be determined.
After the competition has died down an afterparty will be held at Pugg Mahones, just down the road, with guaranteed entry and drinks specials of:
$6 pints of Carlton, VB and Bulmers cider and
$6.50 Cruisers
So get your team together (medical student only and must contain at least one member from each gender) to represent your University and email your team name, details and University to events@mscv.org.au , and make sure you hurry because this is only a 16 team competition, so don’t let your University miss out!!
