Hello, medical students of Indonesia!
It is with our greatest pleasure to announce that IFMSA are calling for interns at the World Medical Association for the May–July 2023 period and is open to all medical students of Indonesia! This internship will be held offline at the WMA Office itself!
The internship
The World Medical Association (WMA) is an international organization representing millions of physicians worldwide. It was founded in 1947, and endeavours to achieve the highest international standards in medical education, medical science, medical ethics, and health care for all people in the world. The WMA office is located in Ferney-Voltaire, France. Please check out the website for more information at http://www.wma.net. IFMSA has a long-standing partnership with WMA, including an internship program.
Interns will have the opportunity to work directly with the WMA Secretariat in its Ferney office on select core projects to work on during their internship - these range from advocacy areas of WMA to specific focus areas of work. The working hours are 7 hours/day (9h00 to 17h30 in CET with a 1,5h lunch break from noon to 12h30), to be confirmed once the intern is assigned. The possible areas of involvement of the intern are:
- Representing WMA at various online webinars and meetings;

- Assist WMA social media activities
Other activities may be presented by the WMA which related to their specific needs and areas of work. Please read the internship catalogue for detailed information.
The internship is for a total of 10 weeks in the period between May and July 2023. Concerning Visa-Support, IFMSA can provide assistance by writing a support letter for the internship period. The IFMSA will not provide accommodation, but interns will receive financial support of at least 1350 Euros per month.
