Standing Committees
One of the main pillars of TAMSA structure, which is based on the most relevant health related topics for medical students. TAMSA works on the local and national levels mainly via its six standing committees, each of them focusing on major health topics and medical student-related interests. The work of each standing committee is complemented by several activities, such as training, campaigns and advocacy efforts, offering youth the space to learn in both formal and non-formal educational settings.
Thousands of projects, activities, conferences and workshops are organized each year nationally and locally through National Member Organizations within the TAMSA network in each area, allowing students to become agents of change at home.
