PRESIDENT’S<br />

WELCOME<br />

To the graduating class of <strong>2024</strong>,<br />

Congratulations on reaching the end of one momentous journey, and the<br />

beginning of another. Between now and the world of work lies the final frontier<br />

- the internship application season. Whether you've crossed paths with AMSA<br />

before, we remain committed to informing and advocating for you at this<br />

critical time. So much is left unanswered in the confines of medical school (just<br />

what exactly is the two-year prevocational framework?) that we hope to shed<br />

light on, and help you make the best career decision possible.<br />

It would be remiss not to also acknowledge that the coming months can be<br />

stressful and chaotic. Despite decades of advocacy by student bodies, the<br />

system remains inequitable for many. AMSA continues to work with state<br />

Medical Student Councils and your Medical Societies to ensure the application<br />

process is fair and transparent, and are in close communication with<br />

internship authorities as the process unfolds.<br />

A massive debt of gratitude is owed to Haini, our impossibly talented<br />

Communications & Publications Officer, along with her subcommittee<br />

members Faith, Raymond, Angelina and Saieesha. Countless hours contacting<br />

every health service across Australia has resulted in the document you see<br />

today, and it's our hope that their work serves you well.<br />

Please never hesitate to reach out, whether to us, friends and family, or<br />

professional support. Know that there is a national network invested in your<br />

success as a future leader in Australia's healthcare, even at these first, pivotal<br />

steps.<br />

So congratulations once again! It's my privilege - and the community's - to<br />

share this space with you all.<br />

Yours in orange,<br />

Allen Xiao<br />
