THE MAIN EVENT.
One week to learn, try, question, compete, connect and see Medicine a little differently.
IN OCTOBER! ♡
THIS IS MORE THAN A WEEK OF MEDICINE.
It is the part of the year where everything comes together.
From October 12th to 18th, iMed Conference® 18.0 brings students, healthcare professionals and experts together through lectures, practical workshops, competitions and experiences beyond the scientific programme.
Come for the knowledge. Stay for the conversations, challenges, people and moments you were not expecting.
WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR?
Choose a door. Or open all four.
LECTURES
Keynotes, scientific panels and iMed Sessions bringing remarkable people and perspectives to the stage.
WORKSHOPS
Get out of the lecture hall and learn by doing — from clinical skills to surgery, technology and simulation.
COMPETITIONS
Research, public speaking, clinical reasoning, simulation and more. Put what you know into action.
SOCIAL
Because some of the best conversations happen after the scientific programme is over.
