Welcome to the IMSP Site

The International Medical Student Project is a mutual effort of the universities of Greifswald, Lund (Sweden) and Szczecin (Poland). Founded in the year 1996, the IMSP offers an opportunity for scientific and cultural exchange between interested medicine students. Issues concerning clinical procedures, research and ethics are discussed in joint conferences held every semester. The conference location rotates through the participating cities. Workshops and lectures are organized by students under the supervision of sponsor professors and offer the opportunity to discover and discuss different points of view on the subjects involved. Recent conference topics have included "Ethics and Genetics", "Pain" and "Rural Health".

Each of the conferences is organised by the host group and includes lectures and workshops, food, housing and recreational activities. In addition to scientific exchange, providing the opportunity for personal contact is a major goal. Official dinners, interesting city tours, Swedish singing, parties and even sports have been a part of previous conferences, fostering friendships across national borders and - if rumors are true - even a marriage.

The Greifswald group is made up of students from all semesters and meets regularly in form of a Journal Club that discusses subjects of the upcoming conferences. Of course work is not everything! Barbecues and Christmas parties are only some of the recreational activities that we meet for after work.

Medicine Students are welcome to join our journal clubs and take a look into our project. For more detail see the contact page and the sidebox.
