Background: SloMSIC Ljubljana is an association of students from the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana. It encompasses 20 projects with active medical student participation, our presentation will focus on projects in the field of medical education. Aim: Our aim is to present the activities and highlight the academic importance of 3 medical educational projects of SloMSIC Ljubljana: Emergency Medicine, Ultrafest Ljubljana and Surgical Suturing Materials and Methods: Emergency Medicine educates medical students on Basic trauma life support, Advanced life support, Rapid trauma assessment in the form of educational workshops. In 2022, the project members were awarded 1st place in the national Best CPR team competition. Ultrafest Ljubljana aims to improve the clinical skills of medical students in the area of imaging techniques, by organizing interactive workshops. In 2022 the first Slovenian book on Point-of-Care Ultrasound was published, authored by project members and clinical specialists. Surgical Suturing tackles the lack of practical knowledge in the surgical field by teaching medical students the basics of suturing and operating room etiquette. Every activity is followed by an evaluation in order to assess the contribution of the activity to clinical knowledge of students. Results: Jointly, these projects reach around 470 students yearly through the organized activities. The participants of the last four ultrasound workshops rated their knowledge with an average score of 2 out of 5 before, and 3,8 out of 5 after the workshop. The last three ALS workshops were evaluated with an average score of 9,4/10. The practical workshop How to go to the operating room was rated with an average score of 9.6/10. Conclusion: Medical educational projects of SloMSIC Ljubljana provide practical education for medical students, enriching their knowledge, acquired during the official courses. Evaluation has demonstrated that students’ clinical skills benefit as a result of attending the workshops. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
