About HelMSIC

HelMSIC – Hellenic Medical Students’ International Committee is an independent, non governmental, non profit organization run by medical students in Greece. It was founded in 1958 and as of today, it has 7 Local Committees, one in every medical faculty of Greece.

HelMSIC has been an active NMO in IFMSA since 1958 and has more than 140 active members. Through its participation in these international organizations, HelMSIC is the voice of Greek Medical Students abroad and the main channel of communication, cooperation and training in an international level.

Our activities and projects are centered around six thematics, representing the IFMSA Standing Committees, SCORA, SCOPH, SCOPE, SCORE, SCORP and SCOME. Our Local and National Officers mainly organize projects under these thematics. Our projects aim to train medical students on topics that are not fully included in our curriculum, to develop their skills, to raise awareness about health issues, and to promote the International cooperation between medical students.

HelMSIC works on a national level with Medecines Sans Frontiers (MSF), Medecines du Monde (MDM), Therapy Centre for Dependent Individuals (KETHEA), AIESEC and other NGOs and Governmental Organizations mainly on project based collaboration.

Participating in HelMSIC gives each medical student the unique chance to invest their free time in a creative and meaningful way to benefit the society, their colleagues, and themselves. Our active members develop their communication and organizing skills, their leadership abilities and become familiar with project management, and come in touch with medical students worldwide.

Be conscious, challenged, active, Be HelMSIC!
