Asian Medical Students’ Conference in the Philippines
From the 3rd–10th July 2013, a total of eight students from UTAS represented a group of about 30 students from across Australia at the 34th Asian Medical Students’ Conference (AMSC) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The theme of the conference was “The Incoming Tide of Community Medicine.”
The Australian delegation swept the prizes for the academic competitions, placing in three out of four academic competitions. UTAS contributions were:
Public Health Campaign Poster – Jay Pandya and Vewen Phang (2nd prize)
This poster focused on raising awareness on suicide and providing easy access to help via a hotline service.
Research Poster - Ashwin Bhana, Kieran Longley and Nicholas Voon
This poster looked at anxiety and distress in women with Type I diabetes.
The Australian Delegation as a whole also won 2nd Place for both the Research Paper and the Public Health Campaign Film, both of which UTAS assisted in putting together.
