Why UIMS exists
Board members bring experience from their own universities’ international student organisations. Together we build a platform to collaborate, combine shared experience and improve student life for the whole of our stay in the Czech Republic.
“The idea to create UIMS was born out of the realisation that all international medical students go through very similar experiences at whichever medical school they attend.”
- 1.
Enhance the knowledge of students through educationally centred workshops and lectures.
- 2.
Form collaborations with student organisations, maximising our reach to all students.
- 3.
Enrich our calendar with social, charity, wellbeing and media events covering every aspect of student life.
- 4.
Be a platform for students, graduates and doctors to share their ideas, knowledge and expertise.
The annual conference
Once a year, students from all eight faculties spend a day in workshops and lectures run by doctors from Czechia and elsewhere in Europe.
