General Information - Where and When

The Scientific Congress of Greek Medical Students is the most important, countrywide, annual event organised by the Scientific Association of Greek Medical Students (SAGMS). The 9th consecutive SCGMS takes place In the year 2003 in Athens, at the "Athinais" Congress Hall, from Friday, May 9 to Syunday, May 11, 2003.

Papers - Scientific Part

The Congress includes presentations of papers on medical and paramedical subjects, by students, doctors and Professors. The basis of these papers can be personal research work or bibliographic review. The form of presentation varies and can be either an oral presentation (slides, video, computer-aided presentations -such as Powerpoint), a poster, a lecture (for particularly interesting subjects by special guests) or a discussion. The official language of the presentations is Greek. Foreign speakers may speak in English, and English slides may be included in the presentations.

Satellite Events

During the SCGMS satellite events take place, events that promote the general idea of the Congress, and the purposes of the SAGMS, which are in brief the spirit of vulunteerism, the furthering of medical education, the tightening of bonds and relations between medical students both in Greece and abroad.

The schedule of satellite events of the 9th SCGMS is not finalised yet, but will definitely include:

• The 7th Olympiad of Medical Knowledge, where all the medical students who attend the congress may participate, independent of year or university of studies, to test their knowledge answering multiple choice questions set by the special scientific committee responsible for the Medical Olympiad. The official language of the Medical Olympiad is Greek, but the participation of English-speaking students can be arranged if notice is given in due time.
• The 2nd Forum on Olympic Volunteerism in association with the Onganising Committee of the Olympic Games "ATHENS 2004". The Forum is expected to have particular interest, as it takes place only a year before the 2004 Olympic Games in the city that will host them.
• Various cultural events for the entertainment of the participants in the congress.

Registration for the Congress can be arranges at the local Divisions of SAGMS, and there is also the possibility to register during the congress (on-site) at the secretariat that will be operational. Hotel reservations are possible through the Organising Committee, at the local Divisions of SAGMS, or through "Triaena Tours and Congresses", the company we cooperate with in the organisation of the congress (www.triaenatours.gr).
