Questions?
Find the answer to some common questions about membership and payment here.
You can become a member of Medicinska Föreningen in three diffrents ways:
- Download the app Hitract and create an account there. This requires you to be registered at antagningen.se. If you are not, you need to purchase the membership trough our payment page and then you verify it in the app to creat an account. After you have created your account you can apply and pay the membership fee there. If you are a student at KI, we recommend this method so you don’t miss out on everything happening at Medicinska Föreningen. You can read more about Hitract furture down on the page
- Buy the membership through our payment page
- Come by our student union desk and pay the membership fee.
For all methods, we will ask for your personal number. If you don’t have a Swedish personal number, don’t worry—you can still become a member! If you are registered in Ladok, you will receive an interim personal number from KI, which consists of your date of birth, one letter (usually “T”), and three digits in this format: YYYYMMDD-XXXX. The interim personal number is usually sent to you by KI or Ladok before your studies start so you can register for your course in Ladok.
If you don’t have a Swedish personal number or an interim personal number, you can still buy the membership website and then verify it in the app, but we will need to provide you with a dummy personal number. Please email [email protected] for assistance with this. If you are applying for a student or intertriginous membership, you will also need to send in an Certificate of current studies at KI.
Which membership should I get?
Student Membership
The student membership is the regular membership for those studying at the undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral level at KI. You have full rights and benefits as an MF member.
To become a student member, you must:
- Be registered for a course or program at KI during the current semester.*
- Pay the membership fee of 250 SEK per semester. You can also pay for one year (two semesters): 500 SEK. Please note that you must remain a student throughout the entire year to be considered a member!
*Note: After registering in LADOK, it may take a few days before we receive the information from KI.
Exchange students not registered in LADOK can also become student members, e.g., Erasmus students or students registered at another school in Stockholm but completing part of their studies at KI.
If you are not registered in LADOK, we require the following to register you as a student member:
- Contact information – Name, personal identification number, email address, and home address.
- A certificate proving you are studying at Karolinska Institutet, signed by your supervisor/teacher. You can be registered as a member for one semester at a time, meaning you’ll need to provide a new certificate each semester. The certificate can be submitted to the student union office or emailed to [email protected].
- Payment of the membership fee.
Intertriginous Membership
The intertriginous membership is for students qualified for doctoral studies at KI but not yet registered as doctoral candidates. You can become an intertriginous member for one semester at a time (250 SEK).
To register as an intertriginous member, we require:
- Contact information – Name, personal identification number, email address, and home address.
- A certificate proving you are studying at Karolinska Institutet, signed by your supervisor that can be found here. You can be registered as a member for one semester at a time, meaning you’ll need to provide a new certificate each semester. The certificate can be submitted to the student union office or emailed to [email protected].
- Payment of the membership fee.
Supporting Membership
If you’re interested in our activities but are not studying at KI, you can become a supporting member. The supporting membership is valid for one semester (160 SEK), two semesters (320 SEK), or two years (640 SEK). As a supporting member, you can participate in all MF activities except those specifically targeted at student members.
To register as a supporting member, we require:
