Welcome

The Otago Medical School Research Society fosters and promotes health-related research at the University of Otago.

The Otago Medical School Research Society has existed since 1928 with the aim of furthering and fostering medical and related research.

The Society hosts five meetings per year: three of which consist of presentations from postgraduate students in competition for prize money; a presentation from an invited speaker of national or international standing; and a meeting for research staff.

In addition, the Society runs a science writing prize open to all undergraduate or postgraduate students carrying out health-related research at the University of Otago.

The society holds its annual general meeting every November.
