Impact Electives Night 2012 (PDF 158 KB)
On 25-26 August 2012, UTAS medical students had an opportunity to be a part of a new initiative in global health: the FutureMed workshop. FutureMed is an Australia-wide project governed by Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) after receiving funding from UNESCO to implement a campaign for educating our young medical students on the issues and challenges that 21st-Century medical professionals are likely to face (refer to Health Professionals for a New Century (PDF 4.6 MB)).
VGen is World Vision's youth movement, aiming to inspire, educate and empower young people to respond to issues of social justice, global health and poverty through local, grassroots action. As part of VGen you will have the opportunity to develop personal passions and professional skills including advocacy, leadership and social engagement.

The International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) was founded in 1951. It is the world's oldest and largest independent organisation representing associations of medical students internationally. IFMSA is recognised as a non-governmental organisation within the United Nations' system and the World Health Organization, and it is a student chapter of the World Medical Association.
IFMSA was created to impact the world and to empower its members in taking their vision and ideas and making them a reality. IFMSA has inspired generations of medical students to develop the leadership abilities and skills to take on challenges and to improve the world around them in a crucial period of their careers.
