Sections

Medicinska Föreningen (MF) is divided into twelve sections that represent different programs at Karolinska Institutet (KI).

Those of MF’s members who are registered for a certain education at KI are members of the section for that education. According to the bylaws, the sections’ main areas of ​​activity are education issues, study social issues and internationalization issues that apply to the section members’ education as well as research and postgraduate education issues for the Doctoral Students’ Association.

The section members elect their own section board, which leads the section and elects student representatives to programme level bodies at KI. All section members have the right to attend, express their opinions and move for a decision at section meetings, and the members of the section board have the right to vote.

Many sections have different groupings that are responsible, for example, for arranging reception activities for new students, parties or educational events. Your section develops through your commitment and becomes what you and your fellow students make it! Find your section below and read more.
