We’re proud to celebrate Dr Omar Khorshid, a Perth-based orthopaedic surgeon
and long-standing MDA National Member of 29 years, who has been jointly
awarded the AMA’s highest honour — the 2025 Gold Medal.
As AMA President from 2020 to 2022, Dr Khorshid led with clarity and calm
through one of the most challenging periods in modern healthcare. He was a
trusted national voice during the COVID-19 pandemic — guiding the public,
representing the profession at National Cabinet, and advocating for a stronger,
more resilient health system.
Dr Khorshid’s legacy includes championing GPs in the vaccine rollout and
launching nation-shaping health campaigns that continue to influence public
policy.
Congratulations, Dr Khorshid — your leadership and decades-long commitment to
the profession are truly inspiring.
