Issues


Internship Availability


As you would well be aware, the numbers of medical students graduating are starting to approach our current availability of internships across Australia. AMSA has been quite vocal in this area. The following will help you to better understand this big issue:



Internship Allocation


In conjunction with the FMSS, the AMSS conducted a survey of students about Internship allocation across the summer of 2011. The results will be compiled in the coming months and a report submitted to SAIMET in time for their March review of the current system. Check back here soon to read a copy of our submission.


Meetings


Team Rep meetings are open to all who wish to attend and are a chance for you to gain a better understanding of the issues as well as contribute towards policy (where relevant) for AMSA.


Meetings will be held on the following dates (location TBA):



  • Tuesday March 1

  • Wednesday June 8

  • Wednesday August 10

  • Wednesday September 28

  • Wednesday October 26

Other meetings may occur and will be well publicised before the date.
