The Hungarian Medical Association of America-Hungary (HMAA-HC) is organizing its summer conference for undergraduate students (medical, dental, pharmacy), residents, doctoral students and specialists. During the conference, Hungarian medical students and young doctors will have the opportunity to learn about the HMAA Buffalo-Houston exchange programme (open to sixth-year students) and meet students who have already participated in the programme. You will also have the opportunity to listen to interesting lectures given by former and current fellows, as well as renowned Hungarian and foreign doctors and professors. The friendly atmosphere of this multidisciplinary conference is a great opportunity for medical students to have informal discussions with professors and doctors working in the United States. Presentations in English and Hungarian will be available at the conference. The best presentations will receive valuable prizes from the HMAA. The best presentation in English will be awarded the Ivan Krisztinicz Prize offered by the HMAA, and the winner will be invited to attend the annual HMAA conference in Sarasota, FL, USA, sponsored by the HMAA. The best presentation in Hungarian will be given by id. Istvan Mechter Prize. Best presentations in each field/section will also be awarded (e.g. best presentation in neurology/surgery). The 2024 conference will be organized in the traditional way with personal attendance. If the epidemiological situation in September 2024 does not allow face-to-face attendance, the conference will be held online. This year the conference will be an innovative and interactive event, taking place at a new venue in Várggestes, at the Villapark in Várggestes (https://www.villapark.hu/).
