Purpose
MeSAGE, a collaborative initiative involving 11 medical student organizations, including the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA), aims to address gaps in curricula by creating open educational resources and equipping learners with essential knowledge and competencies. IFMSA's 2021 Digital Health Survey found that over 50% of medical students lacked access to Digital Health education, yet 88% agreed it should be a core component of ME, signaling a need for reform.

Methods
In response, MeSAGE and IFMSA launched initiatives focused on capacity building and advocacy. Short, interactive, and open learning modules, known as "bricks," were introduced to help students grasp key concepts. Several sessions were delivered, and advocacy efforts included adopting two policy documents and launching campaigns. A Student’s Guide to Technology in ME is also being developed. The Digital Health Survey will be relaunched to assess the impact of these initiatives and compare data in the post-pandemic context.

Results
In 2022, IFMSA developed and adopted the Digital Transformation of Healthcare Policy Document, followed by the Use of AI in Medical Practice and Research. The 2024 Digital Health Campaign capacitated over 750 individuals globally, while the MeSAGE Digital Health Bricks have reached over 9,000 students. Multiple sessions and side events have also been conducted to explore the integration of digital health into ME. The Student’s Guide to Technology in ME and the results of the relaunched survey will be presented at the conference.

Conclusion
MeSAGE and IFMSA’s initiatives have highlighted the critical need for digital health education in medical curricula. Through education, advocacy, and resource development, these efforts are helping to bridge existing gaps and drive meaningful change in ME, ensuring students are equipped for the future of healthcare.
