What is Fullmäktige?

The union council, Fullmäktige (FuM), is the highest decision-making body of Medicinska Föreningen (MF). FuM consists of MF members that together make the large decisions regarding MF, such as deciding about the activity plan, budget and strategic issues that affect all the members and students at KI, as well as electing important positions within MF.

FuM consists of up to 29 members. Members to FuM are elected once a year in the union election in October and the term of office is from November to November. 15 of the 29 mandates in FuM are reserved for section representatives, and the remaining mandates go to members appointed in the union election, Kårvalet. FuM elects the speaker, vice speaker and secretary who lead the FuM meetings.

Why should I apply?

Influence what happens at MF – for real! Being a member of FuM means that you:

  • decide about strategic issues that affect all members
  • decide about the budget and activity plan for entire MF
  • learn more about how MF works
  • elect President, Vice President, Board and other central positions of trust within MF
  • elect the student representatives to represent all students in central bodies at KI
  • meet senior students and students from other educations at KI that you can learn a lot from and exchange experiences with
  • get valuable experience for your future and get really good merits for your CV and for exchange studies!

What is expected of me?

  1. Participate in meetings with FuM approximately three times per semester (during evenings, except the first meeting), about 2-3 hours/meeting. The first meeting is on 20 November 2021 and the last in October 2022.
  2. Read documents (decisions etc) before the meeting and participate in the decisions made at the meetings. All documents are in Swedish and you are therefore expected to be able to understand Swedish at such a level that you understand the issues being handled.
  3. To be a member of FuM, you need to be a student member of MF, ie you need to be a student at KI and a member of MF. Become a member here.
