Understanding MMSA

Vice President for External Affairs Jake Alex Gauci The Vice-President for External Affairs is responsible for liaising with external entities with the aim of improving the organisation’s professional relations and also bring forward new opportunities for the associations members. Together with the policy team, he also oversees the creation and adherence to MMSA’s policy. He is the main point of contact for international organisations that MMSA forms part of including IFMSA (the International Federation of Medical Student Associations) and EMSA (the European Medical Student Association) and is also responsible for a number of events including Freshers’ Week and Science in the City.

Why I love it: The role enables me to meet so many different people from other organisations, both locally and internationally. Through this, I have managed to learn a lot about different cultures, the medical course in other countries and made international friendships for a lifetime!

Fun Fact: I’m a walking jukebox! Always singing!

Upcoming events: Fresher’s Week, IFMSA March Meeting 2020- Rwanda
