Fifty years ago a handful of Queensland medical students took the initiative to unite Australia's medical student body, resulting in the very first AMSA Convention. From a simple gathering around a pint to share experiences, Convention has grown into one of the largest annual gatherings for medical students for the exchange of innovative and progressive ideas amongst the present and future members of the medical profession.

The seven days and nights of Convention are filled with Academic and Social events that students will remember for a lifetime. The Academic program features five days of inspirational and thought-provoking addresses from world-renowned speakers, and workshops. The evenings are filled with ample opportunity to engage with other medical students from across Australia and New Zealand in the notorious social program. 

In 2009, AMSA Convention was held in Brisbane, the birthplace of the event. The past fifty years of medicine have been punctuated by great advances in knowledge and technology as well as major shifts in the way we teach and practice medicine.

In 2010, Convention heads to Hobart. Hobart will ask the question "Will you answer the call?" Hobart 2010 will inspire delegates to face the challenges of the next fifty years with an open mind and embrace the future of medicine.
