The Otago Medical School Research Society has existed since 1928 with the aim of furthering and fostering medical and related research.
The Society hosts six meetings per year: three of which consist of presentations from postgraduate students in competition for prize money; a presentation from an invited speaker of national or international standing; and two meetings for research staff focusing on biomedical and clinical research, respectively.
In addition the Society runs a science writing prize open to all undergraduate or postgraduate students carrying out health-related research at the University of Otago.
The society holds its annual general meeting every November.
