RAHMS is a student-run UNSW organisation for medical, optometry and vision science, social work, exercise physiology, psychology, medical science, public health and biomedical engineering students. They are made up of students from city and remote areas, as well as anyone interested in rural health. Some of the members plan to work in rural health while others are just curious.
We hold biannual roadtrips to rural and disadvantages high schools to educate the next generation about careers in health, and expose them to clinical skills. We also hold similar clinical skill nights as introduction to the first year Medicine students at UNSW. Our events are not only held for the UNSW students at the Kensington sydney campus but also Wagga wagga, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie.
