The first team of the “Azerbaijan Medical Students Association” was formed with the aim of participating in the development of medical education and healthcare through civic initiative. At that time, AzerMSA was one of the first youth organizations to be established in our country and actively contributed to shaping the youth policy of independent Azerbaijan. In its early years, the organization’s members worked to establish international connections for Azerbaijani youth.

In 1995, AzerMSA became a co-founder of the National Council of Youth Organizations and was appointed responsible for its international relations. Over the years, Azerbaijan was successfully represented in the European Youth Forum, and in 1997 — even before our country joined the Council of Europe — AzerMSA became a member of the European Youth Forum.

The next phase of our representation, which began in 2005, became sustainable thanks to the enthusiasm of AzerMDS members and the support of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

In 2007, the “Doctors and Medical Students” Public Union was re-registered as a non-governmental organization of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The governing board of AzerMDS is primarily composed of medical students.
