Asian Medical Students' Association International (AMSA International)

The Asian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) International is a representative not-for-profit and non-governmental international medical students' organisation. Dear People of Tomorrow,

It is the 36th anniversary of AMSA International, and I am honored to be elected as Overall Chairperson of AMSA International Tenure 2021/2022. The Executive Committee Tenure 2021/2022 are comprised of 19 members from Taiwan, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, and Kyrgyzstan. Ever since the COVID-19 outbreak, it has been the worst of times yet the best of times. Travel restriction and border controls gave us no choice but to undergo Force Majeure. However, AMSA International managed to divert the focus from biannual conferences to digital transformation. A great variety of online events—masterclasses, seedership programs, and even organisational rebranding all initiated in the seemingly hopeless year. As the pandemic gradually mitigates, AMSA International is ready to re-evaluate the feasibility of physical activities, while ameliorating the quality and quantity of online ones. For decades, AMSA International has been a platform not only horizontally connecting medical students worldwide, but also vertically linking them to prominent scholars, activists, and their doctor counterparts. Undoubtedly, AMSA International is an incubator where doctor-to-be acquire knowledge and soft skills, take actions for a sustainable future, and forge life-long friendships cross-culturally. Meanwhile, AMSA International is an accelerator to empower youth, to visualize superb ideas, and to shape the world around us collectively. Hence, as Overall Chairperson Tenure 2021/2022, I promise to lead the organisation to new heights. We appreciate every each of your presence since active participation of general member is the fundamental of every organisation.
