VICE PRESIDENT
INTERNAL
ANGI FRENTIU
The VPI oversees the internal
management of AMSA, to help “build a
team that reflects AMSA’s vision and
aspires to create a stronger, safer and
more inclusive AMSA”.
Key achievements in the VPI role this year include:
Centralising the AMSA volunteer recruitment process
We aimed to continue the streamlined approach to AMSA callouts by having monthly
central call-outs to avoid overcrowding on our social media, maximise medical student
engagement with AMSA callouts, and to strengthen our branding.
National Volunteer Pipeline Database (NVPD)
The NVPD was developed to centralise and organise internal documents into one
spreadsheet. This database is essentially a platform that contains links to documents,
templates, presentations and information guides that AMSA Groups may use over the
year, to ensure that all Chairs have easy access to the most updated versions of these
files, at all times.
Internal Policy Review
AMSA internal Policies are reviewed every 2 years. Some policies reviewed this year
were: Volunteer Expectations on Alcohol Consumption and AMSA Volunteer
Expectations on Social Media
National Handover Protocol
The National Handover Protocol is a new strategy developed from amalgamating
previous handover attempts in AMSA and current industry practices to ensure the
process is centralised, streamlined and supported at all stages. All handover resources
and guides as well as the individual handover document for all Senior AMSA Leaders
(yourselves) are now stored in a centralised drive to ensure institutional memory.
