The Association and Delegation of Medical Students of the Rey Juan Carlos University (ADEMED) organizes a face-to-face Public Health Workshop on the Alcorcón campus next Thursday, October 7. The event is held in collaboration with the State Congress of Medicine Students (CEEM) and will have a limited capacity of 75 people.

According to the organization, the workshop will be interactive and will take place in groups. One of the main activities will deal with budget management to solve problems in the field of Public Health.

"The idea is to analyze the mismatch by observing what kind of Public Health problems there are and count them and what percentage of the resources are invested in each of them," says Maya Franco, a medical student and member of ADEMED. In this way, the workshop will try to offer a photograph of the state of this public service, its problems and how to reverse them.

The workshop will also have a final theory session. In addition, the option of broadcasting it online is being considered, although "since it is interactive, it may not make much sense," concludes Maya Franco.

The Public Health workshop will be the first workshop organized by the URJC Medical Students Association in this academic year that has just started. Due to limited capacity, it will be necessary to fill in the following form to make the registration effective. The workshop will take place in room 101 of Lecture Hall II on the Alcorcón campus and will begin at 17:30 p.m.

An association for medical students

La Association and Delegation of Medical Students of the Rey Juan Carlos University is the body in charge of defending and giving voice to the interests of the students of the Degree in Medicine. According to the association itself, ADEMED "is the idea of a group of colleagues who, casually united by their medical studies, decided to go one step further to create and embark on projects that would bring them closer to the endless possibilities offered by the world of Health outside the classrooms”.

The association also acts as a delegation of the State Council of Medical Students (CEEM) and a local committee of the Spanish Federation of Medical Student Associations for International Cooperation (IFMSA), with which it carries out an exchange program for students to develop stays abroad.
