International Association
of Medical Students in AI

A student-led, clinically grounded AI society for medical students and doctors worldwide. Bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and the future of clinical practice.

Rise in Clinician AI Use in 1 Year

Medicine is changing.
Students aren't prepared.

Over 75% of medical students receive no formal AI education in their curriculum. Meanwhile, 2 in 3 physicians now use AI in clinical practice — a figure that rose by 78% in a single year.

The NHS AI Lab, launched in 2019, made an initial commitment of £250 million, with £143.5 million allocated (npj Digital Medicine, 2025). Regulatory frameworks are evolving. Clinical AI tools are in wards, radiology suites, and pathology labs — right now.

IAMSA exists to close this gap. Clinically grounded, peer-delivered, internationally connected. Not a tech club. Not a theory society. A community of future doctors preparing for the medicine they will actually practice.

Clinically Grounded

Every workshop, lecture, and resource is framed around real clinical scenarios — not abstract algorithms.

International First

Chapter model across UK, Europe, North America, and beyond.

Research Connected

Members access AI research opportunities, collaborations, and publication pathways.

NHS & GMC Aligned

Building toward formal recognition as AI literacy becomes a GMC graduate competency.
