The Medicinska föreningen Web shop.

During the fall Medicinska föreningen have worked with the idea of starting a web shop where cool MF-stuff would be for sale. Now that we have found a company to work with which we think matches us perfectly, the web shop is just about to be built! This web shop is of course supposed to sell things that are useful and fun for our members, so what can be better than ask for your advise on what we should sell? Which kind of products would make your studies easier and your membership in Medicinska föreningen even more fun? Think outside the box!

Membership and the Mecenat card

The semester start, spring 2012 is getting close. If you are already a student at KI you might just be finishing your last exams for the autumn. If you are about to become a student you are probably preparing for your new life as a student and thinking of what you should take care of before the semester kicks off. At the beginning of every semester we at Medicinska föreningen allways gets a lot of questions about the student union membership and the Mecenat card. So, we thought we should try to answer some of these questions in advance:

Since the autumn semester of 2010 it is voluntary to be a member of the student union. However, to be able to be a member of the Stockholm student housing association (SSSB) you have to be a member of a student association in Stockholm AND study for at least 75% per semester. Medicinska föreningen orders Mecenat cards to all its members. This card is your student id and gives you access to all the student discounts that Mecenat offers (you can read more about those here). To use the SL discounts you are requiered to study for at least 75% per semester and also be able to show a valid student id (the Mecenat card) at a possible controll.
When you have paid the membership fee and it has been registered it takes about 2-3 weeks before the card is delivered to you, presumed that you have registered your correct post address to KI. Everyone who is already a KI student should receive an e-invioce a few weeks before the semester start. If you are a new KI student, unfortunately it takes a bit longer. This is due to that Medicinska föreningen has no data about the new students until we have received the Ladok files from KI with all the registered new students after the semester start. Usually it takes a couple of weeks after the start of the semester before Medicinska föreningen receives the Ladok files from KI, but once we have them we can start sending out invoices! The membership fee is 195 SEK per semester. Since it is volunary to be a member the invoices has no expiry date, which means that you can become a member at any time during a semester. Note that each invoice is unique with its own OCR number. When you pay the fee it is therefore important that you pay for the current semester and not uses an invoice from a previous semester. Once we have registered your payment we will order a card to you from Mecenat, which will be delivered in a couple of weeks. Mecenat starts producing the cards for the spring of 2012 on the 19th of January! When you have paid the membership fee you can bring the receipt from the payment and get a temporary SL certificate at the Medicinska föreningen office at Nobels väg 10 in Solna. The certificate works as your student id untill you receive your Mecenat card and makes it possible for you to use the SL-discount before the card has been delivered. You can also download your Mecenat card to your smart phone from Mecenat´s website!

If you wish to be a member of SSSB  you have to be a member of a student association in Stockholm and study for at least 75%. In order to keep your membership in SSSB activated it is very important that you:
1: are correctly registered in Ladok, otherwise you will not be considered a valid student and you will become inactivated in the MF database and put on hold in the SSSB queue.
2: have registered the SAME personal id number and email address at Medicinska föreningen as at SSSB. Your membership in SSSB is depending on your membership in Medicinska föreningen and if your personal number or your email address differ, SSSB will not be able to register your membership when they perform their membership updates every night.

We hope this information helped to remove some of the questions you might have had on the new semester! On the 20th of January Medicinska föreningens arranges an info-Pub at Nobels road 10 in Solna for all new students! Come and meet Medicinska föreningen, other new students, old student, SSCO and many others! Bring all your questions as well and we will answer them as well as we can!
