Very good parts of it were relevant for older med students and parts were relevant for younger Med students - sothat was great! Also, I appreciated the doctors carrying out the sessions, telling us how one goes up to thatposition in the UK.

I believe that the event was well organized, except I would have liked more time for the debate to be placed insidethe event. The teaching was to a very high standard and I felt that it helped me consider areas that I would nothave originally considerered for my future. I believe that the Summer school helped me consolidate my knowledgeand gave me an insight into other disciplines of Medicine and Surgery.

This summer school was well organised and well presented. I was amazed by the knowledge presented to usduring the lectures by the professors and doctors. In my view, it is very relevant for all medical students becauseit helps him or her choose which speciality he or she likes most to continue on.

JB
University of Malta, Malta

Most of the presenters were highly prepared and I really enjoyed most of the talks. I found the debates to be reallyinteresting. Also my favourite part of the summer school were the workshops mainly the suturing one. I wish thatthere were more workshops as I found them to be very fruitful. This summer school motivated me and helped merealise more the specialities in medicine. I was really fascinated by the talk about plastic surgery as before I hada different perception about the speciality and now I may even consider to specialise in it in the future. All theorganisators were overall friendly and overall I had a really good time and learned a lot. Would highly recommedto a friend and I would surely reconsider to attend the summer school in the future.

MF
University of Malta, Malta

Coming all alone from my country and attending this summer school was certainly the best decision . Made melearnt a lot of things . Be it academically or socially! The best part was I have been attending conferences,workshops all around the world but none of them involved so much active participation of each student as thissummer school . The healthy and friendly attitude of respected teachers was really helpful in doing the surgicalskills workshops be it imaging ultrasound or lap skills . Mr Roop Tandon was really admiring personalities whichin these few days made me look through the positive insight of clinical skills and conditions in United Kingdom. Ihave no doubts that this summer school paved ways and clear my doubts as I have been planning of doing mymasters in UK next year . Kudos to you guys . The social events, my friends of organising committee and mygroup C I cherish a lot . I’m already excited about the next year’s summer school specially when the topic is fitnessand nutrition in medical field . Keep on doing such things .

I think that this summer school has opened my horizons. It helped me to understand that there are many studentslike me around the world and a lot of competent teachers ready to help you and to give you their knowledge.Actually it stimulated me to apply for many more future events and to make my best to succeed. The organizationof the summer school was a high quality one: there were no empty spaces in the day timetable and they providedall the information we need to make the most of the lectures they organized. I do not want to become a surgeon( at the moment) but I found the workshops amazing: they really taught something to us and unfortunately thiskind of activities are not so spread in my country, in which we focus mainly in theory.

I really enjoyed talking to thelecturers, professors and doctors as they were all very enthusiastic and keen to answer any questions.Workshops were extremely helpful and the mentors were very patient. The organising staff/administration alwaysmade sure everything ran smoothly, and solved any problems we had.

TA
Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Romania

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Summer School. I felt thoroughly privileged to having been taught byexperts in various fields and has been an eye-opening experience not to limit my prospects, and it reminded meof what drew me to Medicine in the first place, its ever-improving techniques and the fact that you will never knoweverything. I felt thoroughly privileged to have had a session with Professor Enoch, whose tutorials I had followeddiligently on You tube prior to every exam, and who helped me in so many ways. It was a great experience, whichI shall surely recommend to my fellow peers.

MM

I thought the majority of the lectures given were of great quality and were very interesting. It was nice to beexposed to different fields, some of which students have not yet come across. The workshops were the highlight,being able to practice clinical skills was a main reason for attending as in my university we do not get enough of it.

VN
Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic

I found this summer school very interesting in general. I made new friends, met people from all around the world,and I would definitely recommend it to friends. I'm about to start the 5th year of medical school, and although Iliked the way it was organised, I think this is something students have to attend before they have chosen whatspecialty they want to take because It gives like an overview of almost all specialties. Another thing I found veryimportant is the fact that we could familiarize with the organization of the medical training in UK.

I thought the organisation was such impeccable: all the organizers were always there to help and to giveinformation, both at university and at social events. All the workshops were very interesting, with the right balancebetween theory and practice. The lectures were interesting too, even if less involving. But among the lectures Iparticularly loved the last day, when we Skyped with a doctor from the US.

This is my first medical summer school and my first experience in any international activities. It was well organizedfrom the groups to the lectures to the workshops! It was the best experience I will ever have! " a week in the lifeof " this topic was great! so many new ideas about the specialties. The lectures was very nice I had an idea abouta new specialty, the cases that I will encounter in the other specialties and how to deal with them in a simple waythat made me love and want to do it myself! my final lecture was the clinical anatomy is was perfect! I hope youmake it at least 2 hours, thank you Professor Stuart and Miss Mai you were awesome! The best part was theworkshops, I have loved it so much It was great!! specially the suturing skills the teachers were dedicated to teachus the correct way in handling the instruments and suturing! But I would love to have more time on practicing theskills, for example in the laparoscopic I wanted to do more it was very interesting. The staff in the reception therewere very friendly! Thank you all for this great opportunity, I have learned a lot. Thank you Doctors Academyeverything was perfect! I want to join you in the 10th Medical Summer School to see the other fields of medicineand workshops but unfortunately the final Medical year in Iraq starts on 15/07/2018, I would be very happy torecommend and pass my perfect experience to all my colleagues in the College of Medicine, Baghdad University.As your Ambassador.

The summer school is very relevant overall to all medical students, involving a lot of workshops, having ahands on experience, which we may not have as much of in the preclinical medical school years, as well aslectures about the basics in each field of medicine.

I enjoyed the Summer School and I learned a lot of things that I didn't know before. In particular, really appreciatedpractical lessons (because in my university we have only theory) and the ability of the surgeon. Finally, Iappreciated the level of the student from other countries: I think that the Summer School is a beautiful way tocompare with other study methods and knowledge.

The Summer School was really helpful for me since I just started with my 2nd year in medical school. Theworkshops were amazing. They were procedures that I will be doing in the future and it's nice to be able toexperience and learn it early. The lectures were very informative. Even though some of the topics were not yetdiscussed in our school, it's good to have a glimpse of what is it about and I got more excited to study them in thefuture. It was also nice that we had session where we heard the life/experiences of the different physicians/surgeons in the UK with different backgrounds.

JC
University of Malta

It was a whole new experience for me but it was totally worth it and I'd definitely think of attending again. Thelectures provided information that we wouldn't have quite touched upon in my University. It gave me a broadersense of the subjects and provided me with a better idea of what the subjects/jobs entail. The lecturers were veryapproachable and although it was quite an intense week, we all had a great time.

University of Southampton UK

It was organized very good. Everything from lectures, breaks, social events went smoothly. In my opinion, it wasvery good, as I got to learn new things and at the same time repeat already learned things (anatomy ...). All in all,I found the summer school as very good and would gladly recommend it to others.

PR
University of Maribor, Slovenia

As last year medical student, I see this course as a great opportunity to learn about many different things just inone week, including clinical management of common medical situations, basic surgical skills, structure of otherhealth services and learning about medical education in other countries. At the same time, it perfectly combinesa more focused view on your chosen speciality that in my case was general surgery. Courses like the InternationalMedical Summer School allow medical students to realise of the importance of an international medicine and alsothe need for global collaboration. As future doctors and surgeons, we all will pursue the same aim, "to improvepatients' health", no matter where you come from.

The experience exceeded my expectations; there was an excellent range of topics taught.

The IMSS is very well organised and all the team is suited as well as an IMS could imagine. Teaching activity wasincredibly interesting and balanced within the specialties. . The IMSS, at the end, helped me - and lots of mycolleagues - (to) understand the future of the specialty I chose and what I'm in going to do in my life. Before I camethere I had been thinking a lot about what I really needed to understand (for) my future and (for me) IMSS is thebest event in the world for a med student to do this.

Overall it was a great experience to attend the summer school. I'll remember it for a long time as a really nice timewith lots of new people I've met. Also the skills i've learnt may come very well in hand, some of the skills we neverlearnt in medical school so far, so that may come in handy some day! Social events were great! Not only to meetnew people from over the whole world but also to connect with people from your own country. E.g., we were witha lot of Belgians at the summer school without knowing all of them, now I know all of them who were there presentat the socials, really nice to meet some students from the other universities from our country! Also the team whoorganised the socials were very nice and kind. Special thanks to them for the great organisation and the wonderfulevenings!

I attended this International Medical Summer School in Manchester because as a fifth year medical student Iwanted to find inspiration and motivation to pursue my goal. I found extraordinary people and professor(s) thatmotivate me to push myself over and over.

Medicine is always changing so it is our responsibilityto update (ourselves) and this International Medical Summer School helped me to achieve that goal.

The summer school was well organised. The organising committee anticipated for any delays or mishaps in theprogramme, which was great. There were many great speakers invited to come and talk to us. I think the summerschool gives us a good mix of everything, both theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills. It was definitelymotivating and interesting. I think the Summer school is definitely relevant since medicine is such (a) broad fieldand it gives medical student(s) a good overall impression of the field they are interested in. It also provides usefulinformation on topics such as publishing, which is relevant to pretty much every medical student nowadays.Overall just a great well rounded programme to attend.

I really enjoyed the Summer School, much more than I expected!

It was very relevant to me (a student who is going to start my clinical years thisSeptember). The Summer School was also very well organised.

PC
University of Malta, Malta

Workshops were very instructive and stimulating, though. My favourite one was the suturing workshop, definitelythe most stimulating for me. Teaching overall was really good. I had the chance to listen to many inspired andmotivating surgeons and doctors. What I found most motivating for me and my career was to really know what aprofessional's life looks like. Listening to what drove them to become doctors was really stimulating. I also had thechance to know some specialities better. Definitely would recommend. Really cool, had the chance of meetingmany great people. Also having the chance of spending part of the night with the Summer School Team wasgreat. All of you were really cool guys.

I have no further comments about the organisation: it was close to perfection. The activities were on time, thestream leaders had everything under control and knew where we'd have to head. It was also important tounderstand how the education system and medical practice works in all of these different countries. It was anunforgettable experience and valuable both personally and for the curriculum.

BPBV
Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain

The summer school was a great experience, it introduces you to the way medicine is practiced in foreigncountries, personally, I found the publications lecture very insightful, due to the fact that I had never been told howimportant publications are in the field of medicine. Apart from that, the workshops were very well organised andsuited towards the chosen specialities. The equipment provided during the surgical workshops were of a highstandard.

DJV
University of Copenhagen, Denmark

The overall experience was fantastic. Most of the presentations were excellent, there was a great mix of different topics, lecturers, activities, skills and theory packed into one week.

The workshops were great, especially the surgical skills and laparoscopy with ultrasound skills, because it's impossible to find such equipment for students in my country. The organising committee was great! Always very friendly and smiling =).The last day was probably my favourite one! Very inspiring and motivating!

From my point of view, the organisers and the teachers have done a remarkable job, given the fact that all of them were volunteers and some of them were doctors. I appreciate the effort of the student organisers who helped me solve a few issues. There were no delays and I was always well guided by the stream leader. The workshops were fantastic and I would have liked more of them (maybe basic intestinal surgery, basic vascular surgery, basic plastic surgery, after the basic surgery skills workshop). I am thanking all of the organisers and I wish that this Summer School will get better and better.

VV
Ovidius University Constanta,Romania

In my opinion the organization was quite good. The people were friendly and almost everything went accordingly to schedule. However, For me the best part of the summer school were the parts that gave me a perspective of the NHS, how to work there, how it is to be a physician not only in the UK, but in other parts of the world and in different circumstances, and what is the future of medicine and how to be part of it.

Very good all round, well organised, punctual, friendly yet firm. I had a fantastic week and found it incredibly helpful for me, as a pre-medical student it provided an insight to people and the profession of which I feel I would struggle to find elsewhere. The presentations were good and informative although sometimes rushed, Dr Swee Ang's presentation about her experiences in Gaza was one of the most moving and inspirational things I have ever seen.

I consider the Summer School a truly relevant event for any Medical student all over the world. It provided lots of essential information about many medical fields and it also gave me the opportunity to meet people from many different countries.

RMR
University of Seville, Spain

This summer school was a great experience for me. I learned a lot and enjoyed all week. The organization was excellent and all the people were very nice. I really liked the surgical skills workshop. Before I came to the summer school, I thought that I will benefit from day 2 and 3 the most. And I really learnt a lot those two days, but the best and the most inspiring day for me was the last day, because those lectures made me think about other things that are also important and I am grateful that I could be a part of this.

PR
Faculty of Medicine, University of Maribor, Slovenia

I am very impressed with the overall quality of the summer school. The suggestion I have is to increase the allotted time for the practical sessions by sacrificing a few of the presentations. This is not because I did not enjoy the presentations, but I genuinely feel that I learnt the most when doing something hands on.

GM
University of Malta Medical School, Malta

It has been overall a quote enjoyable and useful experience. I appreciate very much the effort put into that. The stream topic's lectures were good and all in all relevant, although of course it is impossible for them to be equally engaging for all students, depending on the amount of knowledge they might have already acquired. The workshops were one of the most valuable things of this summer school. I particularly liked some of the lectures given in the final days, namely those concerning global issues and global perspectives on the medical profession. Given the very international background of most of the faculty and tutors, I would encourage even more lectures on those doctors' experiences of practicing medicine in their own country.

Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Italy

Organisation was very good. The teachers were of a high level. Dr. Swee Ang was absolutely magnificent. You learn a lot of relevant skills, so overall I think Summer School was amazing.

The Summer School was a great opportunity to improve my human and technical skills. It was very helpful for deciding my future path. The organization was very Well done, lectures and workshops were interesting and useful. Great experience!

EP
Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia, Università di Cagliari, Italy

The overall organisation was impressive and smooth (when seen from the outside). The lectures varied with the approach of the lecturer. Personally I was most interested and impressed in/with the lectures that really delved into a subject and provided case-studies on it, rather than the ones aimed at giving a 'general overview' of what it's like or what you can expect.

FK
United Kingdom

This summer school was great. I loved all activities, lectures and workshops proposed. Overall I suggest everyone to attend this school because it's really a good chance to learn and make new friends.

Top class lectures and brilliant organization!

I appreciate that the Summer School conveyed high quality lectures and workshops, but also the value of cooperation and help among students. Doctors/Professors were friendly and spread their love for Medicine! Thank you for everything!!

SV
Università di Padova, Italy

I think it was a very well-structured programme. I really enjoyed the enthusiasm which most of the speakers had and the fact that they allowed time for questions. I think that I learnt a lot of useful things from the lectures especially when; they were interactive- the subject material being student level, and also when cases were included. However, I feel that I learnt the most from the workshops. They were excellent in terms of teaching, time to practice and supervision.

EM
University of Malta, Malta

Very well impressed by structure academic and social aspect. And very useful workshops the highlight of the week

AS
University of Malta, Malta

This course was amazing! It was well put together; you can tell that a lot of time went into organising this event. I believe it was very useful & relevant to medical students, although I haven't started medicine yet. I had a great time, obtained crucial knowledge for my future medical career. What is more, the organizers are so kind and full of energy. I recommend this summer school to everybody! This course bestows everything you need for your future occupation. Not only does it give you a new medical experience, but allows you to meet people from all over the world. So I would give them a round of applause for giving me such a great opportunity to attend this summer school. Keep up the good work.

KA
University of Bradford, UK

I really loved the summer school!

JB
Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, Netherlands

I really enjoyed the Summer School, first of all because it gave me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world that share my passion for medicine. The organisation was very good and I would like to thank all of the people from the organising committee for their energy and their efficiency, I was very impressed. The lectures were interesting and well-prepared. I've appreciated the workshops, I was really excited to finally learn some practical skills. The Summer School was an amazing experience in both medical and social ways. Although the thing I loved the most was Dr. Ang's speech, it was profoundly touching and so unexpected, it brought me to tears and made me see lots of things, even the Summer School from a different perspective. I'd like to thank very much who made that great encounter happen. In general, I'm glad I was there and once again thank you all for the great opportunity!

LTT
Università di Padova, Italy

Well organized and structured. Possibility to choose the lecture you are interested in = perfect. Staff really kind and available to any kinds of questions or doubts. Registration desk to be slightly improved in order to make things faster, giving maybe the possibility to register for all the week. I would be really interested in participating again and maybe become an organizing committee member.

AC
San Luigi Gonzaga, Italy

I loved the organisation and the doctors involved; they made the course seem light yet informative. I've learnt so much and made so many international friends. The speakers were passionate and were successful at transferring that passion to us. The skills workshops were interesting and great to learn

Excellent

AJ

Everything was perfect

MK
Comenius University in Bratislava, Greece

It was very useful, especially if you want to be a surgeon. I came from Italy and here school doesn't provide you practical competences but only theoretical ones. I haven't no idea about how to do a suture or how it's complex to fix a broken bone before coming to the Summer School! Besides, we have learnt people from all over the world and talking each other you can learn a lot of things, i.e., about differences in the organization of the Medical University and the way to major. I began to think seriously to major abroad after this experience! Besides, the School was very well organized and all the staff members were polite, even if we didn’t understand something (for example how to suture). The only defect was food: I'm sorry but English food is not good (or anyway you can't compare it with Italian food...)

EB
Università di Pisa, Italy

I really liked the summer school. It was very well organized. The teaching was excellent.

MAMF
Mansoura University, Egypt

The organisation was very good. The organizers were very friendly and helpful. The Summer School is very good for medical students. It is very good that you can choose a stream so you can get more information about topics that interest you. The last day of the Summer School was excellent. Especially the topics: world health/ working in resource-poor settings, practicing medicine in war-torn areas and in conflict zones and the Wounded Healer. Don't change it, it was excellent! Thank you for organizing such an interesting Summer School!

EL
University of Antwerp, Belgium

Very good about the lectures maybe more practice and it will be amazing.

GD
Universitate de West Vasile Goldis, Italy

It was a good thing and very beneficial for me starting by knowing many people from different countries, and by learning and practicing. The most thing I liked was the workshops that we tried and do by our hands and it was practical. The organizing committee and the doctors how taught as were great they are friendly and I learned allot from them.

ASD
King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia

I think more workshops should be included.

OCF
Crimea State Medical University, Ukraine

Even though it was a bit too advanced for my current studies (just about to begin 3rd year) I learnt a whole lot. Could have been better if there was less lecture and more hands on experience.

DJM
University of Malta, Malta

Attending the international summer course has been an amazing experience, so exciting, stimulating, inspiring and touching. First of all , we had the opportunity to meet lot of students coming from all over the world (although I am Italian and we were surrounded by Italian people !! ), to enlarge our net of friendship, to make a comparison between the medical education we are acquiring in our countries and the one of other students . Moreover it has been relevant to underline the difference between our practical skills and our clinical knowledge. The workshops were very well organized and the professors and the tutors were absolutely available, kind, and very professional. They were very good at explaining what to do in the most comprehensible way, at giving assistance to us and at encouraging us during the practical activities. The lectures were so stimulating and aimed at giving us more information about the lifestyle of a surgeon, I have appreciated that all the Doctors were very available and humble, accurate while answering the students' questions. They allowed us to go deeper inside the surgical field taking in consideration all the different aspects of it; they underlined the most relevant challenges of surgery, I think it has been very worthwhile to be divided in streams because we had the opportunity to focus on some clinical and surgical fields we were more interested in to understand what kind of skills and experience must be acquired to become a very good vascular surgeon or neurosurgeon. Furthermore, talking with doctors (whose availability has been total and really appreciated), asking them suggestions about our future professional experiences has been very important and inspiring. The lectures I have been more interested in were the one about the response to international disasters by Dr. Redmond and the one of Dr. Michelle Ting-Ching Tang. They were really professional and they showed us a strong, very deep-rooted passion for their job in situations which are very hard to cope with. They taught us something more about the humanitarian spirit that we need to keep to go on with our medical pathway, aimed at providing medical cares but also at improving our world ( in a certain way) . I will join an IFMSA medical project in Sudan during the month of November 2014 and their advices have been very beneficial. Of course, I have been very impressed and touched by Dr. Swee Ang, an amazing woman, a heroine of our times, an unforgettable source of inspiration! I found in her words a great humanitarian spirit, courage, a strong wish of helping people and defending their rights, of giving peace a chance, of staying where there is a deep need of primary healthcare and where war, famine, poverty and tragic situations destroyed the hope for the future. I saw all my values and my deep motivation to become a doctor in her experiences, I understood I made the right choice, I' m travelling towards the correct pathway! In conclusion I have been so happy and satisfied of taking part to this summer course, which has been very beneficial and worthwhile, not only from a professional and educational point of view but also from a human one. Thank you so much for this great opportunity!

CB
School of Medicine and Surgery, Padua

The organization was excellent and I particularly appreciated every kind of workshop. Professors were very kind and good at teaching. Above all, every lecture was quite interesting and I think this Summer School is a very positive experience I will suggest to my classmates, especially to have an idea of how things run somewhere else.

MA
University of Pisa, Italy

The organizing committee and volunteers were extremely helpful, willing and energetic during the whole duration of the event. Lectures had a solid scientific approach, were adapted to the knowledge of the students regardless of their year in medical school and provided a very accurate insight on specializing in the UK even chasing an academic career.

NL

Keep the workshops, most interesting!

CDL
University of Antwerp, Belgium

First of all I would like to thank all of the people involved in organizing this medical school. It was a great experience! It was well organized and the emails preceding the medical school were extremely helpful since I had to travel from Malta to attend. The lecturers chosen were incredibly great and very easy to understand. I chose stream 8 and although I haven't covered the areas yet, every lecture helped me to understand more what I was in for. Every lecture was a perfect summary of all the important subjects I need to know in the respective area of study. I'm certainly going to check the presentations while studying the subject. I was really pleased that the presentations are going to be available because I'm sure they will be a good studying companion. The clinical sessions were PERFECT especially the orthopaedic and paediatric ones. They were very interactive and I really enjoyed them. If I had to experience them again I would love if they were a little bit longer so that I have plenty of time to repeat the manoeuvers and techniques. I found the suturing session very helpful since this was the first time I had the opportunity to do it. How relevant the medical school is? I believe that is a rhetorical question! It’s perfect, a great way how I can now feel more confident about areas in my future career that were still vague and full of questions. Although it is only a 5 day summer school, it’s a perfect crash course to help you visualize what your future/dream career is like. The clinical sessions were a great introduction to stuff we have to do in our early years as doctors and being able to experience them when I'm only half way through my medical studies, are a great boost of confidence and of better understanding. Thanks for the opportunity :)

JB
University of Malta, Malta

The organizing committee and volunteers were extremely helpful and energetic at all times. The scientific content of the summer school suited all students well, regardless of their year of studies in medicine.

NL
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece

It was a very positive learning experience on the whole, full of enjoyable learning. What I learnt most from were the interactive bits, mainly the workshops and debates. The last 2 days were important for me to attend, most especially to hear the inspiring and mentality-changing stories of Dr Ang Swee and Dr Ahmed Hankir. They instilled in me a sense of action, bravery and responsibility and I truly God Himself meant for me to hear these enlightening words. I also greatly appreciate Dr Halder's lecture on publishing as I am attempting at it myself. A truly marvellous job was done by the organisers to fit in anything ranging from workshops to debates within just 5 days. Thank You and truly God bless you wherever you are :)

ZB
University of Malta, Malta

This summer school was really useful and relevant for me to understand my future way and predispositions, and to highlight the areas and the topics that may be of future interest in my specialty. This was due to your very good organisation of the event and most of all to a really relaxed but at the same time keen and exciting, almost friendly, way of teaching.

DC
Università degli Studi di Bari- Aldo Moro, Italy

Smooth running of the program was evidence of great planning. The workshops provided hands-on learning which many of us are not fortunate to have in our schools. The teachers took their time to explain basic principles behind what we were learning. That gives a student direction as to the relevance in practice

The summer school was a new experience for me, especially that I was away from my family, but the staff were very friendly which made me feel better. The best thing about the summer school was the workshops, I really enjoyed every workshop, but I didn't like all of the lectures and I found some of them irrelevant to my study. I would highly recommend my classmates to attend the summer school in the future.

FA
Royal College of Surgeons In Irland - MUB

Well organized I'd say, teachings impacted knowledge, I got very sure of what area of medicine I'm most interested in and an idea of what it would look like for practicing specialists, and a huge idea about the competition in the outside world, I got to make useful friends. I wasn't disappointed at all, even as it was my first summer school.
