Membership Milestones celebrated
Every year AMA Queensland recognises dedicated doctors who have been members for decades with a special breakfast and certificate to mark their years of service.
It was an honour to host almost 40 long-term AMA Queensland members and their families and friends at a special Membership Milestone Breakfast in Brisbane on 1 December.
This event celebrates doctors who have combined their care for the community with their passion for advocacy by joining and remaining as members of AMA Queensland for decades.
AMA Queensland Ramping Roundtable chair Dr Kim Hansen headed up the 20-year members who joined the AMA in 2003 - the year a courageous Doctors Without Borders doctor alerted the world to SARS, saving countless lives but succumbing to the virus himself.
It was particularly special to acknowledge eight members who have been with AMA Queensland for 50 years – the year the first MRI was produced.
AMA Queensland is a member association. Our members are, and will always be, our most precious resource. We thank all of you for your support.
