A welcoming space for neurodivergent medical students
We host a private community for ND and NDq Unimelb MD students — whether you are diagnosed, identifying, or still figuring things out. Official UMMSS club; GSA affiliation in progress.
What we do
We celebrate neurodiversity in medicine by sharing experiences, busting myths, and pooling resources — online and in person. We create safe spaces, build peer support, and promote self-knowledge for members and learning for allies. Each year we aim for at least two events: one for members only, and one that welcomes Melbourne Medical School partners for education and allyship.
-
Peer support
Connect with others who understand the joys and challenges of medicine while living neurodivergence in your own way — including seeing the heterogeneity of our community.
-
Advocacy
We speak up for how medical education is delivered and for neurodiverse patients in the MD curriculum.
-
Resources
