The Tasmanian University Medical Students’ Society (TUMSS) is the student led organisation that represents all medical students at the University of Tasmania, serving a number of roles, both academic and social. TUMSS operates in conjunction with the Australian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) and also has strong links with the Australian Medical Association Tasmania and other medical bodies.

The aims of TUMSS are to:

• Represent medical students on UTAS committees, providing a student voice on issues of current relevance, therefore allowing students direct input into their medical school and curriculum.
• Liaise with relevant student and professional bodies, including the Tasmanian School of Medicine (TSoM), the Australian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) and the Australian Medical Association (AMA).
• Encourage members to consider their well-being, both physical and mental, and the well-being of their colleagues.
• Provide members with access to support services, including student mentors.
• Organise social and sporting events for members.
• Provide career information to members on the various medical specialties and vocational training opportunities.
• Promote interaction between medical students in different year groups, on different campuses and from different backgrounds.
• Showcase sponsors’ products and services to members.
