Honour roll

Addresses from students in each year of medical school prompted memories of the highs and lows of studying medicine among those present at the 2023 Adelaide Medical Students’ Society Medball, staged at the Adelaide Convention Centre on 26 August. The Medball was again a fantastic chance for students to come together and celebrate as an entire medical school. Other formalities included a speech from AMSS President Vi-Seth Bak and sixth-year speeches by Oliver Marshall and Chiara Mulqueen, who captured the nostalgia felt by the final year cohort and who now look toward the exciting entrance into our journey as doctors next year.

The awards ceremony acknowledged the generosity and achievements of students who have gone above and beyond in the name of their peers. It was encouraging to hear of the various ways these students had invested their time and efforts for the betterment of their fellow medical students.

The evening concluded with a live band and energetic dancing. I will certainly miss my time at the med school but am very thankful for the impact of the AMSS on my journey as a student as my cohort and I prepare to join the ranks of AMA(SA) as clinicians.
