AUMSA - Auckland University Medical Students' Association

AUMSA - Auckland University Medical Students' Association AUMSA is a student-run organisation which represents Auckland Medical Students and hosts a wide range of social, sporting and educational events. Let's face it.

Medical school isn't easy. With considerable academic pressure being added to existing commitments, medical school will often be one of the greatest challenges students have faced. Elected and governed by the student body of the medical school, AUMSA, the Auckland University Medical Students' Association, is an association that exists to represent and act in the interests of Auckland Medical Students. From the little things, to the bigger picture, we work to make your life that much easier. Each year, we bring you numerous social, sporting, and educational events, such as the Annual Medical School Ball, pub crawls, parties, BBQ's, staff-student debates, inter-faculty sporting tournaments, information seminars and medical symposiums. What's more, we liaise with the faculty to improve the curriculum and voice the concerns of the student body. In addition, for your viewing pleasure, we publish the notorious medical school magazine - (ND) New Doctor. As a member, you will have access to and receive discounts on the aforementioned events but also get the opportunity to apply for academic travel funds, meet wizened students, and more ! This is your student association, we're just here to help.

International Medical Students looking for a PGY1 job 🩺📣

Te Whatu Ora has confirmed PGY1 positions for 2025/2026 (+ 2027 training year) based on forecast medical school graduate numbers, including Category 3

✅ Overall outcomes have been positive, combining match offers + Talent Pool offers
💡 Good to know:
- Districts can have vacancies open up after the match (declined offers, new positions)
- These are filled via the Talent Pool
- All unmatched applicants go into the Talent Pool automatically
- No category priority in the Talent Pool any district can select any unmatched applicant
- Historically, strong success securing PGY1 roles post-match 💪

⚖️ The algorithm weighs your preferences + employer rankings + position numbers, so no district is guaranteed. Only rank districts you're genuinely willing to work in!

📌 Outcomes vary year to year based on positions available, applicant preferences & district rankings.
