[IFMSA] IFMSA General Assembly in Washington DC
Deadline extended to Friday the 26th October at 23.59pm.
The IFMSA is holding it's 62nd General Assembly in Washington DC from the 5th-15th March 2013. The conference is entitled, "Advocacy and the Physician in Training" and promises to provide 10 packed days of Global Health Workshops and Training, as well as an opportunity to meet fellow students from around the world.
The typical structure of an IFMSA General Assembly means that delegates attend a specific Standing Committee session for the mornings, and a variety of training sessions and meetings in the afternoons. Evenings always include a plenary or voting session, and a social program. More information on the IFMSA can be found at www.medsin.org/about/ifmsa and more information about the event can be found here; http://www.amsa.org/amsa/homepage/events/MM2013.aspx

To apply, click here: (The form has to be filled in all in one go, so it may be preferable to some delegates to write answers on a word document first.)
If you have any questions at all, get in touch with Anya on international@medsin.org. I will attempt to answer any questions, or if you wish to be put in touch with a previous delegate to an IFMSA conference this is also possible.
