Competitions

 

AMSC competitions aim to provide a platform for delegates from different chapters to showcase their works and pursue their interest in research. This is not limited to academic studies but also social and public health projects that are greatly beneficial to society. We hope that through this platform, we can attract more of our young doctors to take up research and to develop their skills that can help in the development of whichever field they may commit to in the future.

  • Scientific Paper Competition

  • Scientific Poster Competition
