Sponsorship

Sponsoring the New Zealand Medical Students’ Association provides a unique opportunity reach a group of respected professionals.  We see this as a valuable investment for any organization that wants to establish lasting relationships with loyal consumers. Medical students and doctors are time-poor, and therefore do not get the same exposure to conventional, untargeted methods of advertising.  By becoming a partner of NZMSA, you will not only be able to make a valuable contribution to an important organization, but be able to harness a unique marketing opportunity to a specific, difficult to reach, professional group.

The largest event on the NZMSA calendar, Conference, still remains and we are hoping going to be better than ever. Conference ’09 will be held in Christchurch from 1-3 May, and is titled “The Art of Medicine”. Our aim is to develop a conference that focuses specifically on working in a team environment, a skill so crucial to efficient and safe practice. We are inviting top speakers who have been leaders in different fields across medicine, and are looking forward to a more interactive conference with panels and participant live voting.

We are also introducing a new charity event this year, which carries the working title “Med students make tracks”. Medical students from across the country will take part in a cycling series from Auckland Medical School to Dunedin Medical School, in an endeavour to encourage physical activity in the general population. It will furthermore act as a fundraiser for a yet to be designated charity.

Next year we will still be running our ACE Information Evening for Trainee Interns, “Beyond the Med School Gates” forum for senior medical students to help them prepare for the workforce, and will be running a blood drive. There also exist opportunities of direct marketing via our website, new member packs and “Fresher Booklets”, National Bulletins, and more.
