Returning for 2013 is the Patron's River Regatta, a rowing river regatta and garden party in honour of our great patron Professor Pearn.

The day is a chance to meet Professor Pearn, who is a living treasure of the Medical and Australian community. Professor Pearn has achieved many things in his time whether it be the award of an Order of Australia (AO), serving time as the Surgeon-General of the Australian Defence Force, performing aid work with UNESCO and the WHO, conducting 'survival research' in the Arctic, scaling Mt Kilimanjaro or saving lives as a paediatrician at the Royal Children's Hospital.

The day includes several rowing races between medical students, mixed into teams such as "Surgeons vs. Medics". We are looking for eager rowers sign up below. An afternoon tea and BBQ will provided, along with the lovely tones of a QMO String Quartet.

Teddy Bear Hospital is starting up for the year and we're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to go on TBH visits! For those of you new to Teddy Bear Hospital, it is a free program run by The Ashintosh Foundation that aims to promote preventative medicine in primary school children, by passing on messages related to nutrition, exercise, sun safety, oral hygiene and visiting the doctor. The Teddy Bear Hospital is a free educational preventative health program run by The Ashintosh Foundation and supported by the University of Queensland Medical Society.

The Teddy Bear Hospital is a kids-friendly mobile clinic that visits Queensland primary schools and involves groups of medical student volunteers playing ‘doctors’ for the children’s own teddy bears to promote key health messages and foster positive relationships with health professionals at an early age. It is a fun, interactive and educational initiative that raises awareness in children about the importance of healthy eating, dental hygiene, regular exercise and sun safety.

Med vs. Law. A tale as old as time; a constant struggle for power fought through Revues, debates and sporting events (but mostly in the form of derision behind each other's backs). The fight rages on and each side has relented briefly to organize a matchup for ultimate supremacy - The Battle of the Bands!

To express your interest at being one of the battling med bands please read below and fill out our form.
