LeMSIC - Student-run, not-for-profit organisation representing medical students across Lebanon LeMSIC was founded in the 1960s by active medical students from the American University of Beirut . Unfortunately, with the onset of the Lebanese civil war, all the committees' activities ceased. They were reactivated in 1997, with the launching of the Exchange Program and of the IFMSA's 6th International HIV/AIDS Summer School. After that milestone-founding year, LeMSIC re-established itself both locally and internationally, and has grown to embrace hundreds of active medical students in its various standing committees.
