Medsin is a national network of students that are interested in global health.  There are Medsin branches at many universities in the UK, which organise activities at a local level.  Medsin is the UK part of the International Federation of Medical Students' Association (IFMSA), though students from any discipline are welcome to become involved.

Medsin Southampton

The committee of Medsin Southampton meets on:

 Wednesday evenings at 6pm in Boldrewood, seminar room 5.

 We alternate business meetings with meetings based on particular topics of interest.  Anyone is welcome to come along to any meeting.  We also have several  social events each term, such as "random pot luck supper".

In 2008-09 Medsin Southampton are concentrating on global health education by organising a monthly series of talks with speakers from the university, the hospital and beyond.  For further information please see the Events page.

In previous years, Medsin Southampton has concentrated on fundraising. In 2007-08 we raised over £2000 for “Wish for Africa”, www.wishforafrica.org, a charity supporting sustainable healthcare developments in Africa.

Please see the project page for information about projects running at University of Southampton.
