The Asian Medical Students’ Association is an organization of medical students from all over Asia and Australia. AMSA was first established in 1979, and the first conference was held in Mahidol University of Thailand. AMSA’s mission is to promote scientific activity, prepare qualified medical professionals for the future, and build and maintain relationships among AMSA’s counterparts around Asia-Oceania.

AMSA has 10 regional members representing Australia, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, The Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the United Kingdom. We encourage you to visit the new AMSA page on Tiromed and to show your support by wearing an AMSA badge:

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

For those about to spotlight we salute you!

This is a personal favorite among the team. How cool is it to learn about the different Tiromed members from all across the globe? We felt it was in order to show a little appreciation for all the members who have submitted a spotlight. Thus, the brand new profile icon!:

Anyone who submits a spotlight will receive this icon on their profile, just click on a spotlighted member to view (and wear it with pride O ye spotlighted, your personal stories and aspirations are awesome!) We encourage all members of Tiromed to introduce themselves in the MemberSpotlight channel and to say hello to the community.

On top of this, we also revamped our mentor icon, which has a much more appealing je ne sais quoi . . .
