YACMA holds social and educational events throughout the year for medical students, and students are invited to attend several of ACMA’s CME dinners each year. ACMA also provides scholarships to medical students. Auckland Chinese Medical Association Inc was registered as a charitable entity under the Charities Act 2005 on 30 June 2008.

Date: Saturday 21 July 2012 See conference website for more details and registration. 18-04-2012: Next CME Venue: Grand Park Seafood Chinese Restaurant (Cnr of Manukau Rd and Greenlane West Rd, Epsom) President's Message21-04-12: Welcome everyone once again to the ACMA and YACMA website. Apparently, our ageing website had been hacked into recently and turned into a variety of cyberspace zombie doing the bidding of another master. Or so I am told by those digital wizards which manage our website, although I have a suspicion that somebody might have tripped on the electrical cord on their way to make a cup of tea thereby the unplugging the electrical supply to a server.. In any case, I must apologise for the slight interruption in service from this website. But all is now well and I thank the student members who have come to our aid. Our members will be aware that the dinner meetings this year will be cut to allow for the scientific conference this year - this is an ACMA tradition. On the topic of the conference, I must say that the planning is coming along fine and we seem to be on schedule. Please make sure that you block off Saturday 21/7/2012 for the conference as we plan to make it as enjoyable and as educational as possible. It will be a whole day conference entitled "Medicine: Today and Tomorrow". The theme will be what is going on in medicine now and what we should be looking forward to in the next 6 month to a year. It will be open to all medical students at Auckland and Otago Universities and all registered medical practitioners. We have been lucky enough to secure the Langham Hotel as a venue and we hope that everyone attending will thoroughly enjoy themselves. Another matter that comes to mind is that the sponsorship for our meetings are harder to come by. It would be most helpful if members in the course of their dealings with the professional representatives that they see, would mention their membership of ACMA and that your executive would be most grateful if they would consider sponsoring an ACMA dinner meeting. We have satisfactory reserve funds to meet any future unsponsored meetings for the foreseeable future. However, these funds have been salted away by past executives for many years and it would be a shame to keep dipping into them without some effort to redress the balance. I thank you for your support of ACMA and YACMA in the past and wish you well for the rest of the year. Kindest Regards, Dr Weng-Key Chan, President, ACMA
