Φοιτητών Ιατρικής Ελλάδος

With great pleasure we invite you to the 30th Scientific Conference of Hellenic Medical Students & 18th International Forum of Medical Students and Young Doctors, which this year will be held on the 24-26th of May 2024 at the Culture Conference Centre of Heraklion Crete. 

The Scientific Conference of Hellenic Medical Students (SCHMS) is the most important organization of the  Scientific Society of Hellenic Medical Students (SSHMS) with the participation of more the 1800 students from all the medical schools of Greece and from non-medical but parallel departments, as well as professors from all over the country.

More specifically, it includes:

• The International Forum of Medical students & Young doctors of Greece and abroad.
• The Medical Olympics, a medical knowledge competition for pre-clinical and clinical year students.
• Practical medical skills seminars (workshops), based on 4 different cores: clinical skills, theoretical clinical and laboratory tutorials with international certifications and soft skills with an emphasis on social extension and outreach.
• Numerous works on a wide range of topics, in the form of round tables, paper presentations (oral presentations and e-posters), in which speakers are students and young doctors.

Students are thus given the opportunity to develop a scientific and research project that is in line with their interests, to familiarize themselves with the preparation and presentation of scientific papers, to come into contact with distinguished professors and doctors, but also to meet their fellow students from all over Greece, abroad but also other schools of health sciences, aiming a broad cooperation, interaction and interdisciplinary.

The Scientific Conference of Hellenic Medical Students is a multifaceted event, a celebration of scientific knowledge and of the student world. Especially this year, after 13 years, the Crete branch is taking over from an extremely successful SCHMS by the Alexandroupolis branch, and our excitement is even greater since we celebrate with it the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Medical School of the University of Crete. 

Our main goal is to successfully complete and deliver, to the best of our ability, an optimal result since the previous SCHMS have set the bar quite high. Our team will work to meet the multiple requirements of the 30th SCHMS & the 18th international forum, thus contributing to the investigation of the topic, seeking cooperation with distinguished scientists from abroad but also with groups of students from medical schools and other schools of health sciences in Greece and abroad. It is worth pointing out that we will emphasize on the workshops which are an essential part of the conference as well as the Medical Olympics, while we could not exclude the live surgeries from the scientific program.

Therefore, we will all give our best so that the 30th SCHMS & 18th International Forum will be a unique three-day exchange of thoughts, reflections and broadening of intellectual horizons.

We look forward to seeing you at the greatest celebration of medical knowledge, in Heraklion on the 24-25th of May 2024!
