The Medical Schools Outcomes Database (MSOD) has been Australia’s national medical student data collection since 2004, capturing insights from over 34,000 students across all medical schools.

As final-year students, your voice matters. This year’s MSOD survey collects key information on demographics, career intentions, medical school experiences and practice preferences — data that helps shape evidence-based policy, medical workforce planning, and the future of training in Australia.

Medical Deans are also working with AHPRA and the Department of Health to link the MSOD with national workforce datasets, making it an even more powerful tool to understand where doctors are needed most.

If you’re graduating this year, please take a few minutes to complete the MSOD. Your contribution genuinely strengthens the future of our health system.

Our Story

In 1960 a small group of medical students in Brisbane created what would become one of the largest student organisations in the world. Today the Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) has grown into a massive not-for-profit and the peak representative body for Australia’s 17, 000 medical students.

AMSA exists for you, so that you may find your voice, grow and be inspired. Standing on generations of friendship and Hawaii 5-0s, we exist to bring people together. And as the health community of today and tomorrow, we exist to advocate for a better world on a local, national and global level.

To keep up to date with what AMSA is doing for you, like this page, head on over to our website www.amsa.org.au or chat to your local AMSA Representative.
