Hear directly from the experts who joined us on stage. Their words reflect the spirit and impact of the event.
“Getting the chance to share the Ninja Nerd story and our mission with such an engaged group of medical students was one of the proudest moments of my career. The organization was outstanding, the audience was curious and energized, and the conversations really showed how much these students care about the future of medicine. It was an honor to be part of an event led by students who are so passionate about learning, collaboration, and making an impact!”
“My experience with the AIMS meeting has been extraordinarily good. I have to say, from the beginning, I was impressed by the students organizing it so carefully, discussing with me beforehand what we would be talking about, planning it, and then receiving me here in Lisbon and bringing all the speakers together. I was very impressed with many innovations. It’s not just a typical session where the speaker talks, but also roundtables, ‘Ask Me If You Can’ and more workshops – I think this is very good.”
“The organization has been amazing! People have been so helpful and kind, and everything has gone smoothly. The building is fantastic, the questions were amazing, and the audience seemed really engaged. I really enjoyed the whole session, and scientifically, it was a wonderful experience. I feel like we could have talked all afternoon.”
“This initiative taken by the medical school is amazing! I was giving the talk to medical students, most of them from Portugal, but there were also international students, which made the experience unique. I think the organization did such a wonderful job, so thank you for inviting me.”
“What a fantastic event you have put on here! I’m super impressed with the organization, it’s a massive event with loads of students and I’ve had an amazing time here.”
“I very much enjoyed my experience at the AIMS Meeting. The students were so engaged during the workshop, the organization of the conference was extremely impressive, the food was amazing, and the hospitality shown me was beyond wonderful. Thank you all for such a wonderful time.”
If you want something done… ask a medical student! Medical students from around the world never cease to impress me. A couple of weeks ago I attended the most professionally organised Congress I have ever been to. It was organised, voluntarily, by medical students. In their own time, on top of their demanding study schedule and placements.
“It was so professionally organized it was hard to believe that this is run entirely by students. The lineup of speakers was fantastic! The level of engagement from the students was great. Even as you spoke you felt a great connection from the audience.”
“We have a packed crowd, an auditorium filled with medical students asking very persuasive questions. We are seeing the leaders of our medical community, the leaders of health right here, and getting a sense of what our future is.”
“It had all the elements, I think, of inspiration, motivation, science, medicine, humanitarian aspects, so it is something I wish I could have had as a medical student. It’s really a testament to the hard work of the entire team, the motivation and dedication towards a better cause, towards creating future surgeons, scientists and Nobel Prize winners.”
