Medical students actively support each other throughout the course, at a personal level, but also, formally, throught the advocacy and activities organised by the Otago University Medical Students' Association, and the Associations in Christchurch and Wellington. The OUMSA has close ties with the New Zealand Medical Students' Association, and the Otago University Students' Association.
