Overview

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) Indigenous peoples medical scholarship was established in 1994 to help increase the number of Indigenous doctors in Australia.
The AMA believes that an essential part of closing the gap in Indigenous health is to build an adequate workforce for Indigenous health. This importantly includes doctors and health professionals who are Indigenous.

The Scholarship will be awarded on the recommendation of an advisory committee appointed by the AMA's Indigenous Health Taskforce. Selection of the Scholarship recipient will be based on:

• satisfactory academic performance judged on results achieved
• reports from referees familiar with applicant's work and suitability for a career in medicine
• a statement provided by the applicant describing his or her aspirations, purpose in studying medicine, and the uses to which he or she hopes to put his or her medical training.

Application details: Closing dates may vary from year to year, please refer to the information page (link below).
