Welcome to EdPrograms!

We are a team of dedicated volunteers serving as Education Program Coordinators for the AMSS. Our mission is to foster a collaborative and supportive teaching environment where older-year students mentor and guide their junior peers.

By overseeing innovative and engaging educational programs, we aim to create opportunities that enhance learning, build confidence, and strengthen connections across cohorts. Whether through interactive workshops, peer tutoring sessions, or hands-on teaching experiences, we are committed to empowering students to share knowledge, sharpen skills, and thrive together.

Always reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to get involved at edprograms@amss.org.au!

AMSS-run Practice OSCEs give Year 4 and 5 students the chance to refine their clinical knowledge, reasoning, and timing in a realistic, low-pressure setting. With older students volunteering as examiners, participants can practise safely, learn from mistakes without judgement, and receive constructive feedback to build confidence.

Excitingly, thanks to the work of the AMSS VPE in 2025, Faculty are now involved in these practice OSCEs. This means that the stations you encounter in the AMSS-run sessions directly reflect what you will be assessed on, giving you even more relevant and targeted preparation.

⏰ Semester 2 AMSS Practice OSCEs:

  • Year 3 (Faculty-Led): Tuesday, 6th October
  • Year 4: Saturday, 31st October
  • Year 5: Saturday, 24th October

Semester 1 AMSS Practice OSCEs RECAP:

Thank you to our pOSCE Sponsors SAMSOA and AMBOSS!

This year, we’ve introduced a new way to help you get more out of your Practice OSCEs. While you receive individualised feedback during each station, we also want to help you understand the bigger picture.

What did most students do well? We’ll tell you!
What did students not do so well? We’ll tell you that too!

The aim is to help you actively reflect on your performance after your pOSCE. We know it can be tempting to finish a station, walk out, and immediately try to forget about it 🙈 — so we’re here to help you reflect and carry those lessons into your summative.

⏰ When: TBC (usually within days-1 week post AMSS Practice OSCE)

There is a separate session for Year 4 and Year 5 students.


Don't worry third years... we have addressed the gap!

We know that P2P and ClinPrac gives Year 1 and 2 students the opportunity to connect with and learn from students in the clinical years. The AMSS also has excellent inter-year teaching support for Year 4 and 5 students through Practice OSCEs and semesterised Teaching Series.

But what about our Year 3 students?

In 2026, Team Ed has listened. For the first time, we are introducing the AMSS Year 3 Teaching Series.

This new inter-year teaching initiative is designed specifically around what is important to Year 3 students — supporting them not only with their written exams, but also as they prepare for their first medical school OSCE.

Tutor expressions of interest are now open. If you are a Year 5 or Year 6 student who is keen to teach, we would love to have you involved.

    The Teaching Series is a year-long initiative where Year 6 students deliver high-yield tutorials to Year 4 and 5 medical students. The program focuses on key examinable concepts and clinical skills, with the tutorial schedule strategically aligned with peak preparatory periods such as pre-OSCEs and end-of-year exams.

    Teaching Slides for 2026 will be uploaded CLICK HERE once the sessions are completed!



    Peer2Peer connects clinical year students (Y4, 5 and 6) with early clinical students (Y1 and Y2) for engaging, student-led tutorials tailored to current learning objectives. Click here for more information!

    • If you are in Y1 or Y2, sign up as a student here: Forms are now closed.
    • If you are in Y4, Y5, or Y6, sign up as a tutor here: Forms are now closed.



    ClinPrac offers pre-clinical students extra practice and feedback on history-taking and physical examination skills, guided by students from the year above!

    Second-year students teach first years, and third-year students teach second years; the perfect set-up for Y1 and Y2 to build confidence and skills before starting their clinical placements!
