The Medical Student of the Year Award is given to a person who has made a significant and outstanding contribution as a future changemaker in the profession and in the community in areas such as education, advocacy, leadership and service.
This inaugural award has been established in collaboration with the 2024 MSCWA team. The Medical Students’ Council of WA (MSCWA) was established in 2020 as a spearhead for advocacy, representation and collaboration for issues and concerns that affected medical students across the three medical schools in WA. The council helped to provide medical students with a quick return to clinical placements post-COVID, and has grown to be a voice for all WA medical students. A grant will be awarded annually to the winner of this prestigious award.
