Medical Education.

Lifeblood of medical students.

Medical Education (Med Ed) works to improve medical education in Australia by creating open-access, peer-reviewed exam resources, study guides, fact sheets and OSCE scenarios. Med Ed also provides students with research opportunities that enable AMSA to produce independent research on the state of medical education in Australia.
