The direction of Federation business is the responsibility of the Administrative Council which comprises eight elected members plus the president, vice-president, past president, treasurer and secretary-general.

Major decisions of the Administrative Council must be ratified by the General Assembly which is the ultimate authority of the IFMBE. The General Assembly comprises representatives of all affiliated organizations on a scale proportional to their respective enrollments.

A Committee of Secretaries of the member organizations serves as a link between the Administrative Council and the member organizations, advising the representatives of Council action and providing policy to guide their representation on pending decisions.

The Administrative Council and the Secretaries Committee generally meet once each year; the General Assembly at each three-year international conference. Between meetings business is conducted by mail ballot.

The administration of the Federation is conducted through its Secretariat, at present located in Stockholm, Sweden.
