Team Education, affectionately known as TeamEd, is the internal advocacy branch of the AMSS. #
Who's involved?
This advocacy juggernaut consists of the AMSS Vice-President (Education), Preclinical Education Officer, EdPrograms Coordinator(s), Rural Representative, Research Officer, Year Level Education Representatives, International Officer, Team Ed Communications Office and TeamEd Secretary.
What do they do?
TeamEd meets 3-5 times a year to discuss and collaborate on educational issues across the medical program.
Members of TeamEd sit on various committees within the Medical School to advocate on behalf of students and provide student feedback on issues throughout the program and its courses (see the Course Guides Page for a Guide on MBBS structure). Further to this, we often organise individual meetings with staff and look to advocate via email communication to promptly resolve issues on an as-needed basis. The circle is then completed as TeamEd communicates their achievements back to the students (see Meeting Summaries page). Other functions of TeamEd include writing student submissions, developing and maintaining educational resources (see the Education Resources Page), producing and collating student surveys and organising educational events and programs (see the EdPrograms Page).

There are many ways to be involved in the work of TeamEd, whether you have been elected to an AMSS position or not.
