About Us

AMSA’s Rural Health Committee was founded in 2016 by Dr Skye Kinder and Dr Sophie Alpen, medical students who had been working within AMSA to advocate for rural health and sought a stronger platform to bring together students with a rural passion.

The committee now consists of volunteers from across the country, who collaborate on a wide range of initiatives both within and outside of AMSA to advocate on behalf of medical students and rural communities, inspire interest in rural health through publications and events, and educate students about the opportunities rural practice has to offer.
