The session
What a seminar covers.
Accurate, neutral and independent. AspireMD is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any Australian medical school, the UCAT ANZ Consortium or ACER — we point students to the official sources.
Pathways into medicine
A clear, neutral look at undergraduate (direct-entry) and graduate-entry degrees, and how rural and other entry schemes fit in.
Admissions exams
What the UCAT ANZ and GAMSAT are, when students sit them, and how they fit into the application timeline.
Interviews
What medical school interviews and MMIs involve, and the qualities schools look for.
Subject preparation
Practical guidance on subject choices and study habits that keep options open.
Life as a doctor
An honest picture of training and working as a medical doctor in Australia.
Life as a medical student
What medical school is actually like — study, placements, and the people you meet.

Common questions
Schools often ask…
Is the seminar really free?
Yes. There is no cost to the school and no obligation. It's part of our commitment to helping students make informed choices about medicine.
Which year levels is it suitable for?
The session is designed for years 9–12. It works well as a careers session for senior students, and as an aspirational talk for years 9–10. We adjust the content to the audience.
Where do you present?
We present in person at secondary schools across Australia, subject to presenter availability and location. Tell us your suburb and state in the request form and we'll let you know what's possible.
Who presents the seminar?
Our presenters are current Australian medical students or qualified medical doctors. We allocate a presenter based on availability and eligibility for your date and location, and confirm details with you before anything is locked in.
Do you offer online seminars?
An online format isn't a standard offering at this stage. If an in-person visit isn't possible for your school, mention it in your request and we'll discuss alternatives.
How far ahead should we request a date?
As early as you can — a term ahead is ideal. Dates depend on presenter availability, so we can't guarantee a specific day, but we'll work with you to find something that suits your timetable.
