President #

-Continue input to refine the 2-year internship proposal.

-Create a strategic plan to safeguard AMSS culture during the BMD transition and ensure continued improvements to the MBBS.

Vice President (Education) #
Nathan Behrendt 5th Year
Have I been successful in everything I’ve advocated? No. Have I continued despite being told no? Absolutely. I haven’t been Preclin officer like many past VPEs, but I have done EdRep for the last 2 years and loved it. Convention didn’t go to plan, but as Academic convenor I learnt to negotiate and adapt, skills I hope to bring to the table as VPE.Priorities in 2022:
- Improve communication from the faculty
- Provide student insight to the ‘2-year internship’
- Improve the 3rd year hospital clinical experience
- Maintain standards in the MBBS while the BMD rolls in

If serenading faculty into providing a course outline was an option- bet I'd be on it.With 3 years of TeamEd including PEO experience, current Faculty Board, engagement and infrastructure committee representation and a *copious* amount of time spent on AUMO and Medrevue- I'd provide a holistic approach to engage all aspects of student life in TeamEd Advocacy.
Strategy?
1. Utilise Central University avenues- address proctoring and *looming* university merger
2. MBBS "Covid Safe Plan"- address course aspects that are vulnerable
3. Optimise BMD and 2 year internship- maximise wellbeing and preserve culture
4. Improve 3rd year hospital experience

Treasurer #
Don Kieu 5th Year
Treasury is a vital cog of every society’s success and longevity. Having spearheaded the Adelaide Convention’s (#rip) budgetary and financial direction for the last 2.5 years (despite multiple event model changes and more budget revisions than the hrs/day time I spend looking at spreadsheets), as well as previous event convening, advocacy, and (more) treasury roles, I have a multi-faceted skillset ready to reinforce the AMSS.I hope to prioritise:
- Transparency of financial decisions
- Ensuring continuing stabilisation of our financial position
- Support ALL portfolios, both with welfare and budgetary matters
- Consider new expenditure avenues to benefit members

…while facing the logistical adversities brought to us by C***d. I’m an innovator, aspiring to push the bounds of where we can go with events.
I’m most proud of concocting upcoming *mystery* events with med, law and eng. I love building community (and opportunities to party!!)
I’m keen to help bring inclusivity and wildness to events in 2022. It’s the essence of AMSS culture. It’s how I met you<3

Socials are the core of AMSS culture! As we push for a more inclusive, diverse and welcoming society, our events should reflect this.It’s time to reimagine our events. Let’s use them as a vessel for delivering education, philanthropy and well-being whilst keeping the social atmosphere of med school alive!
My aims:
Use events as sponsorship leverage -> year-long perks for members + venues for socials and afterparties
Skills sessions for event convenors -> budgeting, marketing and equity
Giving EdReps, Gender Officers, Queer Officers, Philanthropy and Health & Wellbeing Officers stakes in events with high attendance -> increased member engagement [truncated]

A word from our sponsors:Money Money Money, must be funny, in the rich man’s world!
From being sponsorship officer for AUMO (lets not talk about the win/rejection ratio, that’s nonCENTS), to being an APY Convenor (budgeting & collecting sponsors/donations), I know a thing or two about rejection but also how to persist through it! I would aim to keep existing sponsors happy (win them over with a good coffee), try and get new sponsors + small businesses on board for events (PRICELESS-advocation-of-the-AMSS) and be the (spare) change needed!
After all, girls just wanna have fun(ds)!

2022 is important, it’s the AMC’s ‘preparation’ phase before 2-year internship starts in 2023. My stint on exec has kept me across active advocacy issues and familiar with how the President, VPE, SAMET DoctorsinTraining and AMA(SA) representatives work together to further students’ interests at faculty and professional forums. I hope to bring your voice to AMA(SA) Council and DiT committee, with these priorities:- Ensuring entry into training and specialty RMO programs are minimally affected,
- Equitable PGY1-2 assessment/e-portfolio implementation
- Keeping you informed about changes, how we will be affected and relaying student feedback
- Proactive advocacy to minimise COVID disruption to students

BMD? Terrifying. OSCEs? Never heard of her.EdProgs? We’re on it.
With BMD around the corner, it’s more important than ever to ensure we preserve the supportive inter-year culture while maintaining support for the MBBS.
Here’s how we’ll do it:
Goals:
- Better communication between education initiatives (e.g. Years 1-3 ClinPrac)
- Re-evaluate and optimise MedTransit/P2P for both MBBS and BMD students
- Collaborate with medical societies to deliver more targeted and efficient tutorials
Experience:
- Event organisation (AURHA, AUSS, Skullduggery)
- GOAT’d MedTransits
- 3-years’ worth of EdRepping (#teamedislove)
- Year 1 and 2 ClinPrac coordinators
- 1x PEO
Let us support you next year!

I'm so committed I haven't seen my parents in 20 months, so you know I’ll work hard (what border restrictions?). Give me a (Pfizer) shot and let me impress.

Hello!Last year I remotely organised a charity organisation with members being International Indonesian students who are in quarantine. Connecting with fellow students have helped me cope with my homesickness. Therefore, my aim is to provide platforms for international students to connect with another.
1. FB group for pre-clins stuck offshore to ensure that they are welcome.
2. Organise an outing during midterm break. (Holiday blues is real y’all)
3. International food fiesta!!! Favourite. AMSS. Event.
We’re currently in a sad & rusty boat but if we combine our lifejackets together we might be able to float just fine :)
