COVID-19 CENTER

COVID-19 brought unprecedented challenges for everyone across our societies. We went to great lengths to overcome all the barriers imposed by the pandemic and continue to offer you the same engaging and groundbreaking medical conference. Your safety is paramount to us and everything we do at MEDICS. To ensure everyone can participate from the comfort of their home we moved all our keynote lectures, conferences and presentations to a virtual environment. We also created new and innovative virtual workshops.

At the same time, we strongly believe that medical skills are gained through hands-on experiences. As such we will continue to offer a select number of in-person workshops. If you want to participate in any of these events with limited numbers of participants please take a moment to read the safety information below.

If you fear that a positive test, self-isolation requirements or new government restrictions might stop you from attending MEDICS after you registered we got you covered with our new enhanced refund policy. You can read more in the section below.
