MEDICS | Medical International Conference for Students

Medical International Conference for Students

16-18 April

MEDICS is the annual conference of the Scientific Organisation of Medical Students. Evolution has always been a core value of MEDICS. This year we are proudly organising the 6th edition in a hybrid format. You can now attend live virtual conferences and virtual workshops from the comfort of your home while also being able to book a select number of our engaging in-person workshops. One thing that has not changed is the quality of our events: Nobel prize lectures, Keynote lectures held by world-renowned speakers and innovative workshops.

Join us – we’ll bring the science.

NOBEL PRIZE CONFERENCE

Peter Agre, Nobel Prize laureate for Chemistry in 2003 for his “discoveries concerning channels in cell membranes”, will hold a conference at MEDICS about Opening Doors Worldwide through Medical Science.

Peter Agre is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He is also leading the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute. Professor Agre is a constant presence in science diplomacy – he served as president and chair of the board of advisors of the American Association for the Advancement of Science from 2009 to 2011.

Going hybrid!

This year MEDICS is going hybrid! Enjoy our Nobel Prize Lecture, world-renowned keynote speakers and innovative virtual workshops from the comfort of your home while also having the opportunity to attend a select number of interactive in-person workshops.

Feeling a little rusty after endless online classes? You can brush up on your skills by taking part in our select in-person workshops, targeted specifically towards improving your clinical and surgical skills in a hands-on manner!

Live virtual conferences

Experience a wide array of live, multidisciplinary lectures, interact with world-renowned speakers, ask our Nobel Prize winner questions about developing your scientific career, all in a comfortable and safe virtual environment!

Pitch Presentations

What’s new this year? We replaced our Poster Presentations with Pitches! A medical problem, 3 minutes to present your solutions for it, a chance to win an attractive prize – sounds like a plan!

Treasure Hunt

We know you’re here for science, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun! We will show a few symbols during our online events. Keep an eye out for them and collect as many as you can! In the end, good things will come to three observant participants…
