Dr Andrew Riley flanked by Joshua Ah-Chan and Sylvia McDougall

This year, the Auckland University Medical Students' Association (AUMSA) ‘pacemaker’ team laced up their sneakers and hit the pavement for Auckland's Round the Bays for a day to remember!

Under sunny skies, and with spirits high, it was a celebration of camaraderie, connection and the friendships that carry us through medical school. The legendary post-run BBQ didn’t disappoint as students ranging from the second year all the way to trainee interns caught up and participated in a few friendly games.

We couldn't have held this event without the generous sponsorship we received – a huge thank you to our sponsor Eye Doctors – we are incredibly grateful to Dr Andrew Riley and the team for their support of our future doctors.

Part III medical students Joshua Ah-Chan and Sylvia McDougall are the sports representatives for AUMSA and sports leaders for the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.
