Vice President for External Affairs
Treasurer
"MMSA - The Malta Medical Students’ Association is a voluntary non governmental organisation with its main aim being to represent medical students enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine & Surgery Course. This means that MMSA is an autonomous self-sufficient organisation and is not supported financially by the government, medical school of the University of Malta. This ensures that MMSA has the autonomy needed to fight for the rights of its members. We rely solely on our sponsors for funding, aiming to provide our members with as many opportunities and grants as possible. Attracting sponsors would be far more difficult if it were not for our members who work harder each year to ensure that MMSA tops the list of student organisations year after year! "
Michela Attard
Treasurer
Secretary General
The Secretary General's main job is to serve as the bridge between the medical students and the Board of Directors. Apart from that, he/she also has to organize TRD, serve as a legal representative for the association and also send updates and calls via MMSA News.
Amy Ebejer
Secretary General
Public Relations Officer
The Public Relations Officer is responsible for putting together the standing committee on Public relations. This standing committee is to see to the compilation and publishing of the MMSA annual report and other annual publication, marketing of the MMSA, ensuring the Corporate Identity Protocols of the MMSA are adhered to, and the inclusion of an IT officer.
Mariah Borg
Public Relations Officer
Peer Education and Training Officer
The Standing Committee on Peer Education & Training (SCOPET) focuses on two aspects. Peer Education is the act of helping one's peers understand a specific topic (such as anti-bullying and anti-smoking) and help guide them in the right path by offering advice and factual information, an excellent way to improve public speaking skills. Training on the other hand involves qualifying medical students to become internationally certified trainers, where they can give sessions on specific skills such as teamwork and presentation skills to other students even abroad.
Daniel Formosa
Peer Education and Training Officer
Sexual and Reproductive Health Officer
"SCORA is aimed at making a change within our society when it comes to comprehensive sexual education, sexuality, gender identity, maternal health, gender based violence and STIs. Through our campaigns, events and outreaching we hope to educate the public, eliminate any misconceptions and start changing the mentality of our community with regards to sexual and reproductive health. "
Michaela Zammit
Sexual and Reproductive Health Officer
Medical Education Officer
"The Standing Committee of Medical education, or SCOME, is the link between faculty and the student body, filling in any gaps in the curriculum and helping the students directly by dealing with any problems. SCOME gives students a voice, empowering students to take charge and make a change. "
Matthew Buttigieg
Medical Education Officer
Public Health Officer
"The Standing Committee on Public Health (SCOPH) aims to promote a healthy living in all aspects of life to the general public and medical students alike. This is done through the organization of various public events where MMSA members outreach and talk with the public about a variety of topics such as diabetes and heart problems. "
Michaela Abela
Public Health Officer
Human Rights and Peace Officer
When you are asked for the reason you chose this course many will no doubt answer almost instinctively; to help people! Well here at SCORP that is our primary aim. We work as activists seeking to change the root causes of issues observed in our society. We work and collaborate on such topics as Mental Health, Children’s rights, Volunteering opportunities as well as Emergency & Disaster Medicine.
Katryna Vassallo
Human Rights and Peace Officer
Exchange Officer - Outgoings
This office within MMSA helps students go on exchanges in various countries all over the world. Not only do students get to experience different healthcare systems or participate in research projects, but they also get the opportunity to experience a different culture and make the most of their summers as medical students!
Miguel Vella
Exchange Officer - Outgoings
Exchange Officer - Incomings
The role of the Professional and Research Exchange Officer for Incomings (PREO-In) encompasses many different jobs. The bulk of the workload is concentrated during the summer months, since that is when the great majority of the students choose to come to Malta for their exchange. A lot of preparation goes into organising all of the activities, but it is ultimately a very rewarding and enjoyable experience.
Matthew Pace
Exchange Officer - Incomings
Electives Officer
The Electives Office provides assistance to all locals and internationals who wish to take up an elective during their studies. In liaison with the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, the main task of this Office is to process applications of international elective students. Through allocating placements, providing optional accommodation and social activities all year round, the Electives Team strives to make every elective experience a unique and memorable one!
