UNITED INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL SCHOOLS
Here's a recap;
Evolence was the latest edition of the annual international conference for medical students held by UIMS. It was a one-day conference where students got to learn about both internal medicine and surgery in wonderful lectures and workshops provided by doctors from the Czech Republic and other European countries. Multiple organizations set up stalls where students could learn about them and what they did. Students came from different faculties all over the Czech Republic, and it was a great place to interact with them and make connections across the country.
It took place at the First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague on March 15th, 2025. It comprised 3 lectures and 10 workshops.
