• The reason for not sharing the validity of candidates right away is that we will need a few days to review all candidatures.

We will do our best to provide information on the validity of candidates as soon as possible;

IFMSA is big enough for everyone and there’s still an opportunity to get involved through the 3rd call and other ventures.
