AIMS Meeting [Annual International (bio)Medical Students Meeting] is the largest European Biomedical Conference organized by medical students from all years. It is essentially advocated by the Faculty of Medicine of the Lisbon Students’ Local Committee and highlights the importance of medical education for all students of health sciences though a diverse approach.
History
Founded in 2009, AIMS Meeting was first recognized as ENJOY Med (Encontro Nacional de Jovens Estudantes de Medicina – National Young Medical Students Meeting), and was meant for all students attending health science courses. By the 3rd edition, the congress expanded internationally, calling for a name change that would allow it to be recognized globally. As it developed further every year, new goals were set and accomplished. Namely, during the 8th edition, a grand milestone was reached as a record of 750 participants were received at the AIMS Meeting
Activities
Every year, a considerable amount of doctors, scientists and students come together to debate some of the most relevant and innovative health science discoveries of the current era.
In addition to the inspiring lectures given by some of the most acclaimed speakers in their fields, the participants may enroll in activities such as research, clinical and scientific competitions, as well a broad range of cultural and charity programs.
Event
The Organising Committee of the 10th AIMS Meeting, comprised of 23 students from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon (FMUL), is now working on the next edition, which will take place from the 14th to the 17th March 2019. Following the principles that guided our first edition, we are preparing three days full of compelling speeches about the latest discoveries in the medical and scientific fields, as well as challenging workshops and competitions accompanied by an eccentric social and cultural program.
