The Executive is typically made up of 14 students from one or more medical schools in the same state, each taking on a specific role. They are responsible for maintaining the organisation on a day-to-day basis and coordinating both with AMSA reps at each university, as well as with many outside committees to make sure that your voice as a medical student is heard loud and clear.
The AMSA Executive is elected annually by the AMSA Representatives from each medical school at Third Council. Individual positions within the Executive are not voted upon, rather votes are cast for a whole team.
To be in the running to be a part of an AMSA Executive, you need to complete the following steps (specific dates and quantities will be released by the current Executive as they are confirmed):
- Find a team of suitable people to fill the Executive positions. View the structure of the current executive.
- Notify the current AMSA President at president@amsa.org.au of your intention to run by date TBA.
- Compile a bid document. Submit electronically to president@amsa.org.au and submit the to-be-specified number of hard copies to the AMSA Executive Office by date TBA.
- Prepare a 20 minute presentation introducing your team and outlining your bid, to be delivered to Third Council (date TBA). *Please note that individual bid teams are required to fund travel to and council sitting fees.
- The successful bid team must be available for a period in December (TBA) for the Executive Hand Over which will happen in your city.
