The Junior Doctors Network (JDN) is made up of junior doctors who independently join the World Medical Association (WMA) as Associate Members, although many are also representatives of their respective National Medical Associations. Any junior doctor who is a member of the WMA may be part of the JDN.

The JDN was newly formed in Vancouver, October 2010 to create a platform to represent junior doctors worldwide and for them to contribute to the work of the WMA. 

The JDN provides the natural progression and development of the existing relationship between the International Federation of Medical Student Associations (IFMSA) and the WMA. The inaugural JDN meeting was held at the WMA General Assembly in Uruguay, October 2011.

Its mission

The goal of the JDN is to provide a forum for experience-sharing, policy discussion, project and resource development on issues of interest to junior doctors, including (but not limited to) global health, postgraduate training, safe working conditions, and physician migration.
