The medical students’ association of the University of Fribourg, FaMed for short, represents the interests and concerns of the students of the medical faculty. Every medical student is a member by enrolment and thus entitled to actively participate in the actions of the association. The fields of action and projects/organisations are numerous.
FaMed-events include the Mediball, a soccer tournament, the Welcome Bowling or the legendary Medifondue, just to name a few. In addition, you can get involved in an affair of the heart to one of many projects: Marrow, Teddy Bear Hospital, Doctors&Death, Clash and Young Sonographers.
On the university level, we as Famed are entitled for political posts that allow us a seat and/or say in the discussion about our education and organisation of our studies.

In order to keep an overview of the various events in and around the university campus, we hold an association’s meeting three times a semester. A general assembly is held at the beginning of the autumn semester. Here the positions are newly filled and all members are officially elected for the coming year.
