What is the Global Health Conference?

Hosted by the Australian Medical Student’s Association (AMSA), The Global Health Conference responds to a growing demand for focus on topics effecting human-kind on a global scale. From an inaugural cohort of 200 students in Sydney in 2005, the event has almost doubled in size, a testament to the interest among medical students and the ongoing high calibre of the conference.

Furthermore you will meet many likeminded people during the exciting Social Programme
