We are continuing to celebrate International Women's Day this week and we're celebrating our AMA women who have generously shared their experiences as women in medicine. Our next post is highlighting @yourAMSA President Dr Tish Sivagnanan! #IWD2023 linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Morning everyone! The Australian Social Prescribing Student Collective is very excited to not only celebrate International #SocialPrescribingDay today, but we are also stoked to officially launch our Twitter page! 🇦🇺🦘#SocialPrescribing

AMSA President Tish Sivagnanan and Vice President External Gabrielle Dewsbury meet with AMA President and Secretary General to discuss key advocacy priorities for 2023.

Australian medical students condemn the Taliban for its oppressive ban on women attending universities and schools. Media Release: amsa.org.au/Web/Advocacy/M…

Medical Students commend the new Tasmanian single-employer rural GP model in increasing healthcare access for rural Australians but also call for greater investment to improve GP and rural healthcare interest at a medical school level. Media Release: amsa.org.au/Web/Advocacy/M…

Presenting today at #RMA22 on rural medical student advocacy with @all__that__jas and @GuyJeffery3 on behalf of @yourAMSA - and then later this afternoon I will be speaking individually in a soapbox titled “rural background students - the rural workforce solution?”

Our President @jasminemdavis96 presented today at #RMA22 on rural medical student advocacy with @all__that__jas and @GuyJeffery3. She's also speaking in a soapbox titled “rural background students - the rural workforce solution?” Outstanding work!

AMSA hosted a roundtable to create solutions to the GP workforce crisis! Attendees: @Mark_Butler_MP, @Anne_Ruston, @RACGP, @ACRRM, @RNZCGP, @RuralDoctorsAus, @Anne_Ruston, Medical Deans, @GPSN_ and more! ABC tinyurl.com/AMSAABCRad Canberra Times tinyurl.com/AMSACT

General Practice is the backbone of Australia's health care system. We need to ensure that medical graduates are attracted to a career in general practice. @yourAMSA

I had the privilege of asking @Mark_Butler_MP a question at @ama_media #AMANatCon and then chatting to @niltiac further about what needs to be done @yourAMSA smh.com.au/healthcare/hea…

The @yourAMSA President Address at #AMANatCon always a highlight. Very glad it was brought back into the agenda this year because @jasminemdavis96 had a powerful call for diversity and equity in medicine, from entry into training to ongoing support for all, quote below:

Birthing on Country for the best start in life: returning childbirth services to Yolŋu mothers, babies & communities in North East Arnhem … #openaccess … "For too long Yolŋu women & families have been excluded from maternity service design and delivery" mja.com.au/journal/2022/2…

Dr Chris Moy, deputy head of @ama_vice, explains what needs to be done to save hospitals that are crumbling under the pressure of patient demand. #TheProjectTV

Increasing #medicalstudent numbers will NOT solve #workforce issues. It is simplistic to suggest that this will help. It has been trialled and it has failed to provide the type of doctors we need in the location we need them. (A thread) @yourAMSA @ama_media

Well said Chris Moy! As stated by our President Jasmine Davis, “It would be profoundly irresponsible for a Government to fund such a large number of new medical school places without adequate data, robust modelling, and consultation of stakeholders.”

Recently, AMSA held a 'Global Health Forum', inspiring future medical students to think bigger. We had the great pleasure of @maxinewhittaker, Dr Kate Wylie from @DocsEnvAus and @ContehBiger come speak to us! #MedTwitter #globalhealth

We are really proud of our Vampire Cup Coordinator, @Peumike_D for his inspirational article on donating blood. A wonderful read encouraging all of us to roll up our sleeves!

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them #AnzacDay2022 #LestWeForget
