Global Health Conference.

Discussions on a global level.

The Global Health Conference is an annual national conference that brings together medical students from across Australia to explore global health in the modern age.

The AMSA Global Health Conference is an annual national conference for medical students from across Australia. The conference aims to bring medical students together from across Australia to discuss and explore issues around global health in our modern age. Established in 2005 and originally known as the Developing World Conference, Global Health Conference is a meeting of medical students from around Australia and New Zealand that aims to fulfil the desire of medical students to learn about and discuss broader issues relevant to global health. The inaugural conference hosted 200 delegates in Sydney. Since then, the event has steadily grown, hosting 557 students in Adelaide in 2017, and a peak of 751 students in Sydney 2019.

The academic program is aimed at what is not taught in medical school. This includes speakers from Medecins Sans Frontieres and other health advisors, to non-for-profit organisations, politicians and many many more. A festival day allows for hand-on activities, including team-based medical challenges. The legendary social program allows delegates to meet life-long friends from around the country.

Only members can attend AMSA events.
