1st International Student Medical Congress in Košice (ISMCK)

It is our honor to invite you to the upcoming 1st International
Student Medical Congress in Košice (ISMCK), Slovakia, will be held
from 23-25 June 2009 in conjunction with celebrations in honor of the
50th anniversary of the founding of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in
Košice, under the patronage of Prof. Ladislav Mirossay, M.D., the
Rector of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, and Prof. Leonard
Siegfried, M.D., the Dean of Faculty of Medicine. The Congress is
being organized by the Association of Medical Students in Košice, a
member of the International Federation of Medical Students
Associations (IFMSA) and the European Medical Students Association
(EMSA).

The aim of ISMCK`09 is to strengthen the international network for
scientific collaboration. All young scientists working in the fields
of medicine and biomedical sciences are invited. ISMCK`09 offers
students and PhD students an opportunity to present their research and
to exchange ideas on topics through oral or poster presentations in
five categories: Basic Science, Clinical Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing
and Public Health and PhD students’ works. It offers the possibility
to find good candidates for PhD study in the future as well!

Not all submitted abstract will be accepted. After revision by an
international committee, only the best will be advanced to the oral
presentation stage. Other abstracts awarded sufficient points will
have a poster presentation; the rest will be excluded. All abstracts
that will be passed through reviewing process will be published in
Folia Medica Cassoviensis. In case of enough quality abstracts more
sessions will be organized. We offer nice accommodation, full board
(food) and social program as well.

In preparation for ISMCK´09, workshops on “How to write an abstract”
(February 2009) and later “How to prepare a poster” (May 2009) will be
organized for all potential applicants. Workshops on topics such as
“How to write a scientific paper”, “Pharmacoeconomics”, “Chronic
disease and quality of life” and “Inequality in Health”, etc. will be
organized during the congress. Lecturers, including reputable
scientists from all fields, have also been invited. These include,
among others, Y. Schoenfeld (Tel Aviv, Israel), Christopher Loftus
(Philadelphia, USA), Tomas Dobransky (London – Ontario, Canada),
Mathias Richter (Bielefeld, Germany), Jietse van Dijk (Groninger, The
Netherlands), Laszlo Barkai (Miskolc, Hungary), Michal Mokry (Utrecht,
The Netherlands).

We are looking forward to meet in June!
