Be matched with a student at your site and create a mentoring plan which works best for you both, with our AUMSA Clinical Reps here to help along the way! Take this opportunity to develop a mentor/mentee connection that develops support and guidance. πŸ₯πŸ’™

Today, tens of thousands of our healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and more), are on strike. Not out of apathy, but out of aroha. Out of the deep ache of caring too much, for too long, in a system stretched to its bones.

They’re not walking away from patients β€” they’re walking for them. For safer staffing, fair pay, and a health system that actually heals.

As medical tauira, we see it. We feel it. And we stand with them. ✊
