We encourage all forms of scientific writing including Original Research articles, Review Articles, Case Reports, feature articles, letters to the editor etc. If you are interested in submitting your research article please go through the Author Guidelines and Submission Guidelines under the Submission section of our website.
The journal accepts scientific articles authored by medical students including but not limited to the member countries of AMSA International. Scientific articles related to all the disciplines of medicine, public health or health care management and those articles having impact on health in any form will be accepted. However, the editorial board reserves the right to deny publication of any article if it deems so. One of our priorities is to keep the article processing time to a minimum. Our online submission and article processing system has been tailored to fulfill this objective. Preference will be given to original articles with structured methodology.

2022: AMSC 2022 Abstract Book
AMSA International is a peak representative organization for medical students from across Asia, the Asia-Pacific and beyond. Standing on the three pillars of Knowledge, Action, and Friendship, AMSA International aims to nurture and give her members valuable experience outside of their medical student curricula.
The Asian Medical Students’ Conference is the flagship conference of AMSA International that involves the participation of hundreds of medical students each summer, yearly. The objective of AMSC lies in creating a platform for a strong, global network of medical students- who as future medical practitioners, will explore and develop their academic knowledge, cultural appreciation, and interpersonal skills.
The AMSC comprises of three main aspects: academic, sociocultural, and community service programs. This event allows medical students from AMSA Chapters to congregate, discuss and present their projects and research which were conducted based on the theme agreed upon for the conference that year. In addition, delegates can also experience different traditions and customs through the cultural events organized throughout course of the conference and network with future doctors across Asia, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, or race.
This year, the conference, organized by AMSA South Korea, has the theme of “Telemedicine: Is it ideal or suboptimal?”. The Academic Competition aims to approach the technical advancements and reliability of telemedicine, while considering the medical effectiveness. The focus of the program is to understand the current status of digital health from the perspective of technical difficulties and stability, and consider the ways to improve upon them.
