AMSA ADVOCACY Our advocacy team collaborated during their February advocacy retreat to ensure AMSA’s advocacy represents and includes YOU. The team had the fantastic opportunity of learning from Dr Professor Sabe Sabesan about making impactful advocacy. Based on the national survey that the AMSA membership filled out, the advocacy team identified the following eight national priorities: Culture of medicine Improving medicine’s culture and prioritising medical student wellbeing Medical Training Pipeline Focusing on the shortages of medical workforces in rural and regional areas Advocating for greater transparency in admission to medical schools Internships Lobbying for internships to be available to ALL Australian medical graduates and working towards a nationally standardised internship process Medical Education and Clinical Placements Ensuring high quality medical education and placements across all medical schools Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Medical Students Working to reduce the health inequity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in conjunction with recruiting and retaining an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce Mental Health in Medicine Reducing mental health stigma in medicine Disability and Inclusion in Medicine Improving accessibility and inclusivity of placements and medical training for people with disability Climate Change and Health Advancing the resilience and adaptation of the health sector against climate change DRS4DRS DRS4DRS is a website solely for doctors and medical students to use.
