About EMSA

EMSA was founded in Brussels in 1991. It integrates medical students in geographical Europe through activities organized for and by medical students and representing them in Brussels. Faculties are members, not the individual countries. Since EMSA’s foundation many medical faculties throughout Europe enrolled with EMSA. It currently unites 49 medical faculties from 18 countries across Europe. EMSA seeks to improve the health and the quality of care of the citizens of Europe by acting as a conduit for increased interaction and sharing of knowledge between European medical students in the areas of medical education, ethics and science.
