Medical Students

The Australian Medical Association (WA) works closely with medical students undertaking undergraduate and graduate medical courses at both the University of Western Australia and the University of Notre Dame. Students enrolled in medical studies at these Universities are recognized as student members of the Association, which is the professional organisation for doctors.

The AMA (WA) also works with and supports both WAMSS (UWA - Western Australian Medical Students Society) and MSAND (UND - Medical Student Association Notre Dame) student bodies in the development of various initiatives during the year.

Both WAMSS and MSAND Presidents are coopted onto AMA (WA) Council each year and also have the opportunity to be involved in the Doctors In Training (DIT) Committee.

Many of the medical students are also involved in the Dr YES program and other public health programs coordinated through the AMA (WA).

Now online is the Medical Student Survey Report 2008, which provides an insight into the interest of Western Australian medical students in a career in general practice.

If you are a medical student and would like to find out more about the AMA (WA), please contact Dione Grose or Chris Kane in the Membership area on Telephone: (08) 9273 3055 or by email: membership@amawa.com.au.
