The University of Global Health Equity (UGHE), in collaboration with the Rwanda Ministry of Health, cordially invites poster abstract submissions for this conference.
​
Since important innovative ideas such as New Digital Technologies, Simulation-Based Education, Global Health and Social Medicine • Leadership and Partnerships will be discussed, a primary focus will be on fostering intercontinental partnerships in medical training. The event will highlight the establishment of a Council of Deans of Medical Schools, whose main task is to establish a unity among the medical schools in Africa.
​
Abstracts are therefore invited to showcase innovations in medical education implemented across the continent. Abstracts should align with the sub-themes and topics below as only few and exceptional abstracts outside the themes will be accepted.
