The Asian Medical Students' Association Macau (AMSA Macau) is the local chapter of the Asian Medical Students' International Association (AMSA International). The association has long been committed to fostering academic exchange activities both locally and with other chapters. One of its flagship programs, the Asian Medical Students' Exchange Program (AMSEP), aims to provide medical students from different countries and regions with opportunities to engage in academic and cultural exchange.

From August 5-9, AMSA Macau, together with AMSA Indonesia, organized an in-person exchange event to promote Macau's healthcare system and cultural tourism. On August 6, 10 medical students from Indonesia visited the Faculty of Medicine at MUST for a one-day workshop. Professor Nivritti Patil, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, welcomed the visiting students and expressed his sincere greetings. He highlighted the importance of building international partnerships in the field of medicine. During the workshop, the students participated in medical simulation sessions, where they had hands-on experience with various clinical techniques.
