The 15th International Medical Postgraduate Conference took place in Hradec Kralove on November 22-23, 2018 under the auspices of Rector of the Charles University in Prague. Medical schools across the Europe nominated 31 students of medical doctoral study programmes from 11 European countries (Austria, Croatia, Georgia, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, The Netherlands, Slovak and Czech Republics).
The members of International Evaluation Committee were the experts from 7 countries. The main aims of conference are: comparing achieved results and levels of PhD programmes at medical schools, presentation of the scientific works, and personal contacts between students and experts from European countries.
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.
