UQ Premedical Society (UQPMS)

The UQ Premedical Society (UQPMS) is an active society that aims to support all students interested in studying Medicine via provisional entry and GAMSAT pathways.

Interested in medicine but don’t want to do it alone? Then the UQ Premedical Society is for you!

UQPMS is a club with the aim to support future medical students intending to enter medicine via graduate entry (GAMSAT) or provisional entry.
We understand that the path to medicine and the adjustment to university life can be difficult. Therefore, we endeavour to ease this transition with academic resources, professional development and social events throughout the year. With the UQPMS membership card, you can take advantage of the exclusive deals and discounts for your favourite cafés, bars and clubs in Brisbane.

As a member, we aim to equip you with academic resources to maximise your potential. In addition to comprehensive publications and note pools, we partner with GAMSAT agencies to provide exclusive access to free seminars, workshops and masterclasses.

UQPMS offers several professional events throughout the year to develop our members’ interests in Medicine. These include the annual Networking Night, where we invite current physicians and medical students to share their experiences. We also offer 1st Aid Training, a Mentorship Program for 1st-year students, and information sessions on the research options and expectations in the MD at UQ.

Most importantly, you can expect to connect with like-minded students through our social events including barbecues, pub crawls, parties, social sport, and of course, the highly anticipated annual Premedical Ball.

Form strong networks that last throughout your university years and future medical careers. What are you waiting for? See you at our next event!
