We are the student division of the British International Doctors Association (BIDA) and the FIRST organisation representing international medical students studying in the United Kingdom. BIDA, our parent organisation, was established in 1975 and is considered to be the oldest organisation representing the voice of international doctors in the UK and strives to achieve equality and fairness for all. Our aim is to support our members on their journey as a student doctor by offering them the best opportunities and resources, to prepare them for their future careers in medicine.
