In order to determine whether scientific societies registered in the Latin American Federation of Medical Students Societies (FELSOCEM, according to its Spanish initials) have management documents and their characteristics according to each society type, during the annual 2014 FELSOCEM meeting in Cordoba, Argentina, a cross-sectional analytical survey was performed. Statistical results according to two patterns were obtained (medical school type: public/private or beingor not federated- themaximumcategory ofthescientific society in FELSOCEM-). Of the 58 answers obtained, very few societies had specific advisors (25%), and some had rules for their advisors (35%) and for their activities (43%). When analyseswere performed, societies from private medical schools lessfrequently had regulations for their advisors (p= 0.044) and for periodically reviewing functions of their managers (p= 0.011). Federated societies more frequently had general advisors (p= 0.012), and they more frequently periodically reviewed their statutes (p= 0.038) and regulations (p= 0.047). Medical students societies assessed have deficiencies in their internal management systems.
