Supporting Our Future Professionals
QMWS strongly supports professional development, including participating in international conferences, networking with both medical and women’s groups, and mentoring opportunities to further members’ aspirations in the medical field. Inspirational role models and mentoring opportunities are instrumental in inspiring, shaping and supporting extraordinary careers. This bursary supports female medical students’ involvement in local and international conferences and networking opportunities, so that they may reach their full potential, achieve their dreams, and work towards truly equitable health outcomes for all.
We invite you to contribute to the QMWS Bursary.
Your kind donation will support our ongoing contribution to Queensland medical women students. Your donation directly contributes toward the QMWS Bursary funds. The other two bursaries are fully funded by our kind sponsors – Mater Health and AMAQ.
You can make a financial contribution, in any amount you like, via our secure “Make A Contribution” link.
