Med Schools in Europe
EMSA:• FMOs (= IFMSA’s local
committee)• Pillars (Med ed; ethics
and culture, sciences, european integration, public health)
• 15% of Med schools (only a few not part of the IFMSA network)

AMEE – a stress point
• IFMSA has been in relationship with AMEE (Association for Medical Education in Europe) even before EMSA existed
• There was an agreement signed by EMSA with no deadline recognizing that IFMSA was the representative of Medical Students and EMSA towards AMEE
• Last year EMSA ushered itself in the AMEE board meetings, ignoring our only standing agreement and the AMEE constitution (says that only 1 medical student can be in the meetings)

Outcomes EuRegME 12 (shared with EMSA in early September)
• have agreements of 2 years rather than 5• have more than only one person for communication
from each• Trying to be more realistic in the points we agree on• Acknowledging the current problems that our
relationship is facing• Trying to involve as much people as possible in the
discussion of the agreement
![Page 19: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Outcomes AM 12 (shared with EMSA in early September)
• interesting and concrete proposal:• joint meeting between IFMSA and EMSA to discuss
their relationship and how to improve it. The idea would be to have both organisations co-responsible for the organisation of a meeting where people from both organisations, only from IFMSA and only EMSA would be present in equal percentage (so, 1/3 for each of the groups) so that we could have a balanced group of participants.
![Page 20: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Outcomes TOM 2 (shared with EMSA in May 11th)
• Topics that need to be addressed in the MoU:– The collaboration between IFMSA and EMSA towards
AMEE– The need for a clear distinction between IFMSA and
EMSA in external meetings– Conflicts at the local level
![Page 21: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Outcomes MM13 (shared with EMSA in May 11th)
• Topics that should be address in the MoU:– Projects between the 2 organizations– How to maintain Communication– Joint efforts of advocacy at the regional level– Relationships with externals, specifically AMEE
• Ideas to be considered:– To merge IFMSA and EMSA at the european level– To make the RC Europe part of the board of EMSA
![Page 22: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Outcomes EuRegMe 13 (shared with EMSA in May 11th)
• different approach: divide people into 3 different SWGs based on their context to comment on what should the MoU be:– 1 group where the NMOs did not have EMSA FMOs in
their country, – 1 group where the NMO did have EMSA's FMO and the
relations with the IFMSA local committees where good– 1 where the relationships where not good.
![Page 23: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Outcomes EuRegMe 13 (shared with EMSA in May 11th)
1 - Group with no FMOs:what we need to know:• EMSA's goals• Their activities and what do we have overlapping• what are the differences between IFMSA and EMSA• Representation:
– does EMSA include other health-care professions?– What structures does EMSA have in place to ensure actual representation of
the interests of local students?• Identify the possible expertise that exist in one organization and not
in the other• Is it more efficient to stay separate organizations?• There should be organizational transparency
![Page 24: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Outcomes EuRegMe 13 (shared with EMSA in May 11th)
2 - Group with FMOs with good relationships • In the agreement it should be included:– Regular meetings between both organizations (2/2
months between the EEB and the RC europe)– EMSA should be represented in the EuRegMe– The RC Europe should be in the CCM and EMSA's GA (or a
substitute)– There should be a 20min presentation of
an EMSA representative in the EuRegMe and a 20min presentation from the IFMSA in the NCM.
– The RC should start a survey
![Page 25: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Outcomes EuRegMe 13 (shared with EMSA in May 11th)
3 - Group with FMOs with bad relationships • Problems that need to be addressed in the MoU:– Copying of projects/events– Miscommunication– No will of collaboration
• Suggestions:– Clarification of IFMSA and EMSA responsibilities on the
international level:– EMSA EB doing the same thing
![Page 26: The IFMSA-EMSA relationship](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052410/554b9532b4c905764c8b4683/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Next Steps• Try to go for a joint meeting before August so that
both organizations can approve the agreement before the end of the year.– Is your NMO interested in hosting this meeting? Let me
know• Survey to understand better our current reality at
the local level• Propose a concrete text for the agreement in line
with the outcomes we got
