HMAA FÜRED2022 CONFERENCE

(2022.08.26-27.)

The Hungarian Medical Association of America-Hungary (HMAA-HC) organizes an annual summer conference for undergraduate students (medical, dental, pharmacy, sports science), residents, doctoral students and medical specialists. During the conference, Hungarian medical students and young doctors have the opportunity to learn about the HMAA Buffalo and Houston Exchange Program (advertised for sixth-year students) and meet students who have already participated in the program. They will also have the opportunity to listen to interesting lectures given by their former and current peers, as well as renowned Hungarian and foreign doctors and professors. The multidisciplinary conference, with its very friendly atmosphere, offers a great opportunity for medical students to have informal discussions with professors and doctors working in the United States. Lectures are available in English and Hungarian. The best presentations will be awarded by 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, sponsored by the HMAA. The best presentation in Hungarian will be awarded the Istvan Mechter Prize, id. Best presentations in each field will also be awarded (e.g. best presentation in neurology/surgery). The HMAA-HC Board has decided to organise the 2022 conference in the traditional way with a personal presence. If the epidemiological situation in early August 2022 does not allow for in-person attendance, the conference will be held online. The congress will be an innovative and interactive event this year.
