Team Education, affectionately known as TeamEd, is the internal advocacy branch of the AMSS. #
What is TeamEd currently working on?
📍 OUR NEW LIVE DOCUMENT
This year, we want to increase transparency around the work we are doing. To help with this, we have created a LIVE WORKING DOCUMENT that outlines the key issues we are currently advocating for and any updates from our meetings with the Faculty and University.
We aim to ensure this document is updated every 3-4 weeks so that you have access to the most up-to-date information.
📍TEAM ED MEETING #1 (25/03)
We just wrapped up our first TeamEd meeting! A summary of the main points and action items will be shared with you soon.
What does TeamEd do?
This advocacy juggernaut consists of the AMSS Vice-President (Education), Early Clinical Education Officer, EdPrograms Coordinators, Rural Representative, Research Officer, Years 1–6 Education Representatives, International Officer(s), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Representative(s), and TeamEd Secretary. TeamEd meets 5 times a year to discuss and collaborate on educational issues across the medical program.
Here are all your Team Ed Members for 2026!
1. We advocate for YOU!
- Members of TeamEd have direct communication with the School of Medicine Faculty members to represent your voice and provide student feedback. This includes:
- Y1–3 Meetings ('MedConnect'): Includes Y1–3 Course Coordinators and the AMSS Early Clinical Education Officer and Y1–3 Education Reps.
- Y4–6 Meetings: Includes Y4–6 Coordinator and Course Leads and the AMSS Vice President (Education) and Y4–6 Education Reps.
- Deans’ Meetings: Includes the Dean of Medicine, Director of Medical Education, Y1–3 and Y4–6 Leads, and the AMSS President, Vice President (Education), and Early Clinical Education Officer.
- 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 students.
- We also work closely with the International Officers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student Representatives to ensure all student perspectives are heard.
2. Australian Medical Council (AMC) Report
- We coordinate student input for the AMC report. Click here to see more and have your say!
3. Student Resources, Guides and Information
- We create course guides to help you navigate your medical program, lists of valuable education resources, databases for overseas and interstate electives, as well as key research-related information.
4. Education PROGRAMS and EVENTS To Boost Your Learning
- Our teaching initiatives include the AMSS Teaching Series, ClinPrac, Practice OSCEs, and Peer-to-Peer, all thanks to our brilliant EdPrograms team.
- We also host various educational events throughout the year, including First Year Exam Forum, Med Talks (prev. Ed Forums), AMSS Careers Conference (new in 2026), and Life in the Real World.
