The Clinical Mind Competition (CMC) is an exciting medical challenge at iMed Conference 17.0!
It’s all about testing your clinical reasoning, teamwork, and quick thinking through exciting clinical cases presented live during the congress. Multiple-choice questions will appear in real-time, and every second (and every answer) counts toward your score!
The winning duo will secure an unforgettable prize: an internship in an international cooperation mission in São Tomé and Príncipe, where you’ll join the “Saúde para Todos” project alongside medical teams from Instituto Marquês de Valle Flôr.
