Advocacy

We advocate on behalf of all medical students in New Zealand. We do this through numerous avenues: from liaising with local universities, to meeting with medical professional bodies such as the (New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA) and the Medical Council of New Zealand, through to lobbying Government.

As elected representatives, it’s our job to seek the views of our members, collate those, and express them to interested parties.

Position Statements

Our Position Statements outline the views of NZMSA on specific topics. We develop Position Statements in response to requests asking for our position on a particular topic, or we develop them to express our position on topics which we think are of interest to medical students.

Tell us what you think

Our Position Statements are based on feedback we get from our members. You can let us know your thoughts in various ways: by contacting your local NZMSA rep in person or by email, by telling us on our Facebook page, or by emailing nzmsa@nzmsa.org.nz. You can even contact us by snail mail if you wish.
