Abstract
The 14th International Medical Postgraduate Conference took place in Hradec Kralove on November 23-24, 2017 under the auspices of Rector of the Charles University in Prague. Medical schools across the Europe nominated 34 students of medical doctoral study programmes from 10 European countries (Austria, Georgia, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, The Netherlands, Slovak and Czech Republics).
The members of International Evaluation Committee were the experts from 8 countries inclusive the President of Association of Medical Schools in Europe. All presentations were in English and were published in the conference proceedings.
We consider this particular meeting of postgraduate students in biomedicine very important from the point of international harmonisation of PhD studies in Europe and for its multidisciplinary focus. The other conference aims are comparing achieved results and levels of PhD programmes at medical schools, presentation of the scientific works, and meeting the students and experts from European countries.
