Intro
The Belgian Medical Students' Association or BeMSA was founded in 2009 to create a national platform that allows Belgian medical students to represent themselves nationally and internationally. BeMSA is a candidate member of IFMSA since 2011. Since 2013 the association has acquired the legal status of association without lucrative purpose.

National Structure
At this moment the Belgian Medical Students' Association consists of 6 local committees. Each accounting for one medical faculty at the following universities: KULeuven, Ghent University, University of Hasselt, University of Antwerp, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Université libre de Bruxelles.

Each medical faculty presents two student-representatives who together will make the general assembly of BeMSA. Together with the executive board and the team of officials chosen by the general assembly they make up the governing strucure of BeMSA. The executive board consists of a president, a vice-president internal affaires (VPI), a vice-president external affaires (VPE), a treasurer and a secretary-general (sec-gen). The team of officials consists of a NEO, a SCOPH-exchange coordinator, NPO, NORP, NORA and 2 co-NOME's. This last function is divided between a Flemish representative and a French speaking representative. Concerning medical education BeMSA's NOME's work very closely with two partner-organisations: VGSO and CIUM.
