The Egyptian Medical Students’ Association, EMSA for short, is a legally recognized Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), registered at the Egyptian Ministry of Social Affairs under license number 7167 for the year 2007 - Cairo. It is the sole legal organization representing Egyptian medical students both inside and outside the Egyptian territories. EMSA's Vision is to create "Empowered medical professionals leading impact." Our Mission: “To provide the suitable atmosphere for Egyptian healthcare Students to create those activities and involvements that would prepare future physicians and healthcare workers with enough skills, competences and broad mind to reshape the future of this country.” We define “medical student” as, anyone who is studying medicine, whether it is undergraduate studies or postgraduate, from Cairo or any other city, in English or in any other language. Through our activities, we promote the ideals of tolerance, open mind to the world, experiential learning and the international involvement that has become a necessity for the medical practitioner to accomplish his mission according to today’s standards; the profession of medicine being one that can’t accept any compromises any more. Being an NGO that is concerned with medical students from different age groups, nationalities, and social environments; we exploit the growing spectrum of generations between the two extremes of our members' age groups, providing the missing link between undergraduate and postgraduate students. Opening new doors to career development possibilities and maintaining a continuous contribution to the community that surrounds us, are all fundamentals to create a physician who is capable of benefiting his community, to think globally and act locally.
