connect
Uniting health professional students across the Greater Wellington, Hawke’s Bay and Manawatu-Wanganui
Who we are:
One city.
Different professions.
One team.
Here at WHPSA, we aim to bring students from Medicine, Physiotherapy and Radiation Therapy together, forming connections that last well beyond graduation.
Whether you’re a first year radiation therapy student trying to find your feet in a new city or a final year trainee intern getting ready to enter the workforce, WHPSA will be there for you whenever you need us.
From social events and fun expeditions, to tutorials and workshops, we offer opportunities for everyone with us.
We believe that connection and collaboration between the various disciplines make for better healthcare professionals and better people.
Community
Multi-disciplinary friendships and groups that will stand the test of time.
Professional development
Various workshops, well-renowed speakers, and tutorials throughout the year.
Advocacy
A unified voice for students working in the health sector.
Wellbeing
Providing holistic support so you can be the best version of yourself.
