The Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) is a non-profit organisation of Australian Medical students. Its aims are to 'connect, inform (and) represent' its members.



Membership
All students completing a Medical degree at an Australian University are automatically members of AMSA. In 2009, this amounted to over 13,000 students.

Organisation
The day-to-day running of AMSA is managed by an Executive, elected by the National Council on a yearly basis. There are also standing Committees, such as those charged with convening the National Convention each year, and Working Parties as needed to progress activities of the Association, such as Pharmaceutical Sponsorship policy and convening the History Project.

History
AMSA was begun as a 'Convention' of Medical Students in Brisbane, organised by Professor David Scott of the University of Queensland, then a student of that University.
