Medical students will be urged to look beyond our shores, as the Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) Global Health Conference explores the health issues and challenges facing developing countries.

Over the next few days, experts in the medical conditions and difficulties of developing nations will inform and inspire a new generation of medical students.

These skills and knowledge will then be put to use on Saturday with the Global Health Challenge, at which students will be faced with their own global health crisis scenario.

AMSA President Tiffany Fulde said, " It is one thing to be educated and informed about the issues facing global health, but it is another to be forced to work alongside others in taking action to deal with these problems. "
