European Forum of Medical Associations (EFMA)


European Forum of Medical Associations (EFMA) is an international organisation with an aim to establish dialogue and cooperation between National Medical Associations (NMAs) and World Health Organization (WHO) in the European Region to improve the quality of health and health care in Europe; promote the exchange of information and ideas between NMAs and WHO; integrate appropriate aspects of policies for health for all into basic, postgraduate and continuing medical education; and as appropriate formulate consensus policy statements on health issues.A meeting of the Forum is organized once a year (normally March or April), to review developments relevant to the medical profession and to exchange experience.

Participants at the annual meetings comprise representatives from the various medical associations, as well as observers from other associations and organizations in Europe: the World Medical Association (WMA), the Standing Committee of European Doctors, Comité permanent des médecins européens (CPME), Permanent Working Group of European Junior Doctors (PWG), European Union of General Practitioners (UEMO), European Medical Students' Association (EMSA), European Working Group of Practitioners and Specialists in Free Practice (E.A.N.A.), European Federation of Salaried Doctors (FEMS), European Association of Senior Hospital Physicians (A.E.M.H.).

EMSA has been active on EFMA since 2010, being the only student organization with an observer status. We would like to thank all the people in EFMA for all the support give to EMSA over the last year.

 


 

The Alcohol Policy Youth Network-APYN

The Alcohol Policy Youth Network is a direct outcome of a series of political processes that continuously asked for higher youth participation in the definition, implementation and evaluation of policies and programmes tackling the harmful consumption of alcohol.

    • APYN is a network of youth organizations and youth clubs that works towards the reduction of harmful effects of youth drinking. Its mission is to mobilize young people across Europe to raise awareness about alcohol related topics and to become advocates of better alcohol policy on a local, national and international level.
    • APYN conducts research into young people and alcohol and all its policies are based on scientific evidence. APYN is apolitical and independent from any source of private funding.

Now that APYN is registered as a NGO in Slovenia and is in the process of having its first GA, EMSA is proud of having applied as a member organization and of working towards implementing a research project about alcohol consumption among medical students.

European Medical Students' Orchestra and Choir (EMSOC) is an unique European medical and cultural project which gathers around 100 medical students and young doctors who share the talent and passion towards performing the works of classical-popular music. This project began in 1993 in Wurzburg, Germany as a chamber orchestra and during the years it grew into an annual meeting of students of medicine and similar medical professions who form a symphony orchestra and a choir.

Over the years, EMSOC took place in various European cities such as London, Barcelona, Stockholm, Budapest, Basel, Oslo, Rome, Berlin, Warsaw, Heidelberg, Edinburgh and Manchester. The main goal of this project is integration of European medical students through the art of music. Other than that, EMSOC promotes the cultural heritage of Europe and presents the values of its medical students.
