STUDENT LIFE AND ORGANIZATIONS

Participation of students in management bodies and Committees of the Zagreb School of Medicine is ensured through their active involvement in the work of the following organizations:

The Students’ Conference is an umbrella organization for the whole University with its branches established at all institutions of higher education. Through a system of delegated representatives students participate in the decision-making process of the School’s Senate and are able to voice their opinions and suggestions concerning the improvement of teaching and their status at the Zagreb School of Medicine.

Published biannually, Medicinar is a student journal of the University of Zagreb School of Medicine. With its first issue published in 1946, the journal covers a variety of topics ranging from student life, culture and sports to most recent topics in biomedical science and teaching.

The European Medical Student Association (EMSA) is an independent, non-political and non-profit organization run by medical students for medical students. All medical students who study at European medical schools can become members of EMSA. Among the major objectives of EMSA are the promotion of contact and communication among medical students and their faculties throughout Europe at the educational, cultural and social level, stimulating joint action of students in those areas vital for their education and social status in the community. EMSA members are active in organizing conferences and projects on various topics such as medical education, specific medical terminology, cultural and social activities of medical students, etc. Since 2004 EMSA members have been active in organizing the Summer School in Emergency Medicine in Dubrovnik. By now the Dubrovnik Summer School has gained international reputation, an is widely acclaimed for its excellent organization of practical workshops for senior students of medicine.

The Students’ Section of the Croatian Medical Association was established in 1997 under the auspices of the Croatian Medical Association. Members of the Section help in the organization of conferences, symposia and lectures, and are encouraged to participate in lectures on current topics related to the health of the young population, such as drug addiction, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. Since 2001, in collaboration with EMSA the Section has been responsible for the organization of the annual Zagreb International Medical Summit for Students and Young Physicians.

Established for the purpose of the promotion of international co-operation of medical students, The Croatian Medical Students’ International Committee (CroMSIC) is a full member of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA). Its members actively participate in the work of IFMSA standing committees in different areas, such as professional and research exchange, public health and medical education. In the era of globalization of medical science, in which the mobility of students has become a necessity of modern medicine, CroMSIC primarily exists to promote the international co-operation of students of the Zagreb School of Medicine and to encourage them to participate in exchange programs with other medical schools worldwide. Presently comprising more than 200 members, CroMSIC is opened to all the students of the Zagreb School of Medicine.

CROSS stands for CROatian Student Summit. It is an international scientific congress for students and young scientists attending biomedical universities, where students have a unique opportunity to present and exchange their research results. Since 2005 the Zagreb School of Medicine has been host for three CROSS summits with a broad participation of international students.
