Some of the first clients who were placed in 2001, when the company first began offering it's services, are now practicing medical doctors. Every year we receive rewarding news from our clients who have completed their studies and are about to embark on their medical careers.

The company's expansion resulted in offering study opportunities in Argentina and South Africa as well as including other non-medical disciplines in the portfolio of services.

MSA in the Global Economy

We help to create employment wherever we send students. We do this by hiring local people directly and by providing work indirectly by services offered to students. We help stimulate the local economy in regards to tourism as we actively promote the city and country in which the medical schools are located in. Many of clients' families visit due to our encouragement.

* The processing of student applications at the various institutes does call for the use of paper, however with regards to "in company" activities we use electronic means for advertising and publishing. We ended our printed brochures in 2006 and have stopped advertising in print medium.
