The Nigerian Medical Students' Association (NiMSA)[1] is the official umbrella organization of all medical students studying in recognized medical schools in Nigeria, irrespective of their nationalities. It is the official student arm of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA)[2] [3] (Act Cap 221 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria).
In 1968, a group of students founded NiMSA to represent Nigerian medical students in Nigeria and the diaspora, bringing the Nigerian medical students together as one body to discuss ideas, share information, and voice opinions and concerns. Since then, the Nigerian Medical Students Association has grown and evolved into a large student-representative body. NiMSA attained full membership status with the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA) in 1970.[4]
