SAWL's
Student Affairs & Wellness Liaisons (SAWLs)
- SAWLs are undergraduate medical students at Dalhousie who have been elected by their classmates at both the DMNS and DMNB campuses in the Med1 to Med4 classes.
- The mission of SAWLs is really in the name, serving as a liaison for medical students to support their wellness and to the Student Affairs Offices at Dalhousie Medical School; liaison meaning communication or cooperation which facilitates a close working relationship between people or organizations.
- Through a wellness lens, SAWLs serve as a support for peers who are experiencing academic and/or personal challenges, directly communicating with the Student Affairs Office at their respective campuses and directing fellow students to professional resources.
- SAWLs promote medical student well-being through the organization and promotion of activities and discussions with a focus on a wellness perspective.
- SAWLs reps are a ‘safety net’ for fellow medical students. They will talk in confidence to fellow students with a duty to share with the Student Affairs Office and:
o Not judge fellow students’ issues
o Direct students to services both within the Dalhousie community and beyond
