Officially founded in May 1974 during the Ontario Medical Association’s AGM, the Student Section of the OMA was started using the acronym “OMSA” (short for Ontario Medical Students Association) in 2004. Students at each of the six Ontario medical schools (Western, McMaster, Toronto, Queens, Ottawa, and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine) elect two representatives to serve on the Student Section Executive Council for a two-year term. In addition, these representatives elect two Co-Chairs, a Director of Communications, a Director of Representation, a Director of Services and an Information Officer/Treasurer to serve for a one year term.
OMSA is the provincial medical student representation at the Ontario Medical Association. Our job is to advocate for medical students on a provincial level, which means our council collaborates with the OMA and represents students on the OMA Section of Medical Students. The 2023-2024 OMSA council worked hard to increase the medical student presence, representation and impact at the OMA level by ratifying more positions. We hope that this change continues to impact important and beneficial change for all Ontario medical students.
