Training Committee

Saturday, 11 June 2011 22:59

The AMSA Training Committee is an ongoing AMSA initiative which has been established to provide education and training resources to AMSA members.  It functions to promote capacity building across the AMSA committees through the provision of resources and access to informative training events.  

The big training events for 2012 will be held on 13-15th September, just before the Cairns Global Health Conference.

They are:

Training New Trainers (TNT)
Simply put, TNT equips students with the skills needed to facilitate successful training workshops. It also provides a fun environment to learn lots of essential, widely-applicable things including project management, presentation and communication skills, group motivation tools and much, much more. You’ll even get a chance to deliver a presentation at the Cairns Global Health Conference!

Think Global: Sustainable Development and Health
Think Global is an initiative project of the IFMSA, focused on Global Health Education. Following closely on the heels of the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development, the TG will be a unique opportunity to examine the roles and responsibilities of the health sector in sustainable development. TG will provide a platform for medical students to engage with the issues and rise to the challenge of meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs! This is an opportunity to surround yourself with like-minded people, to learn all about the intricacies of sustainable development & health and to receive advanced campaign and advocacy training.

But this isn't all. The training committee has been stockpiling tools, references and presentations to make any training or upskilling event you're planning much easier. 

Get in touch and we will be happy to:

• Provide resources and advice on how to up-skill your Global Health Group or Medical Society
• Assist with the organisation of training events to achieve this purpose
• Provide information regarding opportunities for training organised through external organisations, at both the national and international level

The 2012 Training Coordinator is Justin Winters.
