DUVIVIER, R.  and  RODRIGUEZ-MUNOZ, D.. Student involvement in medical education. Educ. méd. [online]. 2010, vol.13, n.4, pp.223-227. ISSN 1575-1813.

We present an overview of the various ways in which students participate in the debates and academic decisions on the organization of medical studies, and we present institutional structures dedicated to this action. At the international level, medical students are grouped in the International Federation of Medical Students´ Associations (IFMSA). It maintains multiple relationships with several organizations in the field of medical education, with the intention of representing the voice of international students: Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE), World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). In Spain, medical students are represented in the Consejo Estatal de Estudiantes de Medicina (CEEM) and Federación Española de Asociaciones de Estudiantes de Medicina (IFMSA-Spain). Their activities will be presented in this article.

Keywords : Medical education; Participation of students; Students of medicine.
