36th Asian Medical Students' Conference 2015
The 36th Asian Medical Students' Conference was held in Singapore from 5-12 July 2015. Just not too long ago, Singapore also held the 25th East Asian Medical Students' Conference in 2012. 438 delegates from 20 countries participated in the conference over 8 days and 7 nights. It was a fruitful conference for all who attended and participated.
AMSC comprises of three main aspects: academic, cultural and social programmes. This conference allows medical students from various countries to congregate, discuss and present their research projects. In addition, conference participants can also experience different traditions and customs through the cultural events organised throughout course of the conference, and gives students an opportunity to network and build lifelong friendships with future doctors across Asia, regardless of nationality, ethnicity or race.
AMSC continues to inspire medical students to analyse global health issues more closely and to utilise the role of medical students in the promotion of public health. It challenges students to think beyond what is learnt at university through various academic and cultural activities which explore a nominated conference theme.
