PhD Students’ Week: Organization and Information

WELCOME !! 

It is an entirely voluntary initiative of doctors, whose sole objective is to work for medical excellence in Cameroon. If you are a “THESARD(E)”, a volunteer doctor member of “JURY” or a curious “simple free listener”, the following information will interest you. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us by sending an email to comed@medcamer.org (object: “Medslide“)

AN INNOVATIVE CONCEPT 

We have been organizing “PhDs Week” for 3 years now, for medical students. We listen to them, and together we improve the quality of their work. Participants receive the “how to make a good presentation” course by email, providing valuable help with the layout of their slides.

FACE-TO-FACE OR WEBINAR?CAREFREE

Do you want to do your Pre-defense in person (on site) or in Webinar (online)? Carefree. We offer you both possibilities, taking into account the physical or virtual availability of the jury members who will be present to improve your work with you.

PARTICIPATION IS FREE, WITHOUT OBLIGATION

A SELECTED JURY

This will come as close as possible to the requirements, if possible with specialists in your field of research: pediatrics, internal medicine and specialties, public health, cancerology, etc. After Yaoundé on July 29 and 31, 2020, the MEDSLIDE team will be in Douala on August 14, voluntarily helping young students, future doctors, to practice during a pre-defense.
