A Clinical Year's Guide to MSAs/Selectives #
As all clinical students know, many rotations can be a bit confusing at first, as we're never quite sure what to expect, and without being lucky enough to have someone to quiz about various rotations, there's very little information available before you start!
To help people feel a little more prepared, and to choose the best MSA/Selective for them, we've developed a survey to get some feedback from current clinical students, so that we can put together a guide for future students.
So, just completed an MSA/Selective? Have any pearls of wisdom to offer? This is YOUR chance to help out future students by telling us all about your MSA/Selective experience. We'd love to hear all about it! Stay tuned for the completed guide.
MBBS Honours Graduate Database #
To many medical students, what an Honours year entails remains a mystery. To help alleviate this issue, the AMSS has coordinated an annual Honours & Research Opportunities evening and developed a database of past medical Honours graduates. While the aforementioned evening may provide general information to medical students, we intend for this database to facilitate the provision of information targeted to the Honours-interested student, via communications between potential future Honours students and past Honours graduates.
Thank you for aiding this initiative.
