Sports and Exercise
Medicine Students’ Association (SEMSA) is a multidisciplinary health students’
organisation aiming to facilitate education and career development in the field
of sports and exercise medicine (SEM).
Our association was founded
in March 2016 by a like-minded group of students studying medicine and allied
health degrees, who saw the need for an organisation that exposed students to
SEM and provided opportunities for personal development within this field.
SEMSA aims to promote SEM
as a speciality field not only dealing with management of acute or chronic
exercise related injuries, but also promotion of health through increased use
of exercise and physical activity. We will hold multiple events during the year
including lectures and skills-based workshops. Our launch event titled ‘A
Career in SEM’ is due to be held on August 24th with keynote speaker Peter
Brukner alongside other SEM professionals. This event will be for registered
members only!
We will initially be a club
representing students from Victorian universities studying medicine and allied
health degrees, a pool of over ten thousand students, and will aim to expand to
become a national committee with state subcommittees within three years.
Our team
is very excited to see a club dedicated to SEM launched across Victoria and
Australia. We hope that it will encourage students to understand the importance
of the SEM field and to think about SEM as a career! If you would like to
