Clinical Case Presentation

Every patient is a story waiting to be told. It’s our responsibility to listen, understand and translate their experience into effective and compassionate care.

MEDSICON 2024, under the aegis of VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital is pleased to invite all medical students to the Clinical Case Presentation Competition.

Send us cases observed and studied by you in the premises of your own institution during ward rounds and clinical postings which demonstrate rare conditions, unique patients and ingenious treatments or are emotionally stirring. The competition is open to all undergraduates and interns.
