Are you starting your internship in 2026?

Thanks to the generous support of our wellbeing programs sponsor, PSA Insurance, two 2025 final year medical students will have their AMA Victoria intern membership fully paid for in 2026.

AMA Victoria supports and advocates for doctors’ wellbeing at every career stage. Our Peer Support Service and Peer Visitor Program reflect this commitment by connecting doctors with peers who understand the pressures of medicine and provide companionship for those who might be isolated.

We want to hear from final year students who share these values of support and advocacy.

How to Apply

Tell us about a time when you supported the wellbeing of someone in your community or advocated for your peers. What did you learn from the experience, and how you think you might integrate these learnings in the future?

You can submit your response in any of these formats:

• A short written piece (maximum 400 words, don't worry if you go over slightly we just don't want this to be overly onerous for applicants)
• A video (maximum 1 minute, filmed on your phone is fine)
• A creative option (for example, an infographic, illustrated story, or audio recording)
