Adelaide Medical Students Society

The Adelaide Medical Students' Society was established in 1889 and its main objective was to "further the interests of medical work among students and promote social intercourse among its members". The creation followed the completion of the five year program by the first group of students after the school's establishment in 1885. Society events have included social functions, presentation of interesting and controversial case studies to members.

The Founding President was Sir Edward Charles Stirling, (one of the founders of the medical school) and founding members included Drs Goldsmith, Lynch, Robin, Verco, Morgan, Beyer, Giles, Mead, Powell, Seabrook, Cavanagh, Embling, Good, Gunson, Moule, Cudmore, Shanahan, Gibbes, Sangster, Giviro, Corben, Russell, Goode and Fowler.
