ZIMS - Zagreb International Medical Summit

ZIMS - Zagreb International Medical Summit ZIMS is a medical congress that brings together medical students and young doctors worldwide.๐ŸŒ

ZIMS is a place of constant exchange of experience, presentation of scientific papers and acquisition of new knowledge from colleagues and invited professors in medical science. Further on, general idea of ZIMS is to promote city of Zagreb as a cultural and youth centre, and therefore city sightseeing, workshops and evening gatherings are important part of agenda. It is important to mention that ZIMS is the only conference where young students and not yet affirmed scientist have access to the world of publishing, thus becoming the only conference in Europe where the book of abstracts is published as a supplement to a prestigious medical journal, 'Lijeฤniฤki vjesnik', which is indexed in EMBASE/Index Medicus. Consequently, the highest quality of an abstract, which goes through strict criteria process, is mandatory. As we know how important presentation of a project is, we expect you to represent your work either orally or as a poster. This medical summit is organized by students from School of Medicine at University of Zagreb, members of EMSA Zagreb and Students Section of Croatian Medical Association.
