AMSA Executive Bids

Get Involved

Do you want to have a say in how your medical degree is run, or input into your future profession? Are you the sort of person who can see not only where things could be done better, but have the motivation and passion to effect these changes? Do you like having a good time and getting to meet fellow medical students from all over Australia?

If the answer to these questions is yes then you should think of applying to be a member of the AMSA Executive next year.

The AMSA Executive is elected annually by the AMSA Representatives from each medical school at October Council. Individual positions within the Executive are not voted upon, rather votes are cast for a whole team typically made up of students from one or more medical schools within the same city.
