In 2008 IFMSA had 102 members, National Member Organizations from 95 countries across the six continents and represented more than 1 million medical students worldwide.

Furthermore, a social programme will be organized. This will give participants the opportunity to meet and establish contacts with international colleagues in an informal atmosphere. And last but not least, the Career and Internship Fair will provide a host of information on Master's programmes, internships and (bio)medical-related jobs.

As multidisciplinary event we are also aiming at collaboration between students of different biomedical sciences, by providing them a place and time to meet and socialize. We are trying to improve our conference every year both scientifically and socially, and to show what one small country, city and medical faculty are capable of doing.

We organise events and workshops for students which are mostly themed around acute medicine, surgery and immediate care. We aim to provide students with the opportunity to develop interests in clinical or academic medicine and surgery, to interact vertically with other students both within QUB, throughout the UK, Ireland and beyond and to interact socially and professionally with other healthcare professionals. As well as talks and workshops, our main event of the year is the "Acute Medicine and Trauma Conference" which is open to all medical students and runs in QUB every March.
