Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
-Carl Sagan
MEDSICON 2024 presents an opportunity for young scholars to present their research in this unique two staged event. Our aim is to provide the delegates a unique platform to exhibit their research work, interact and learn from one another.
Delegates are invited to display their research work in the form of posters in the poster presentation round of this event.
The best poster entries then get to present their paper at the podium. The best poster and paper presentations will be awarded. The competition is open to all undergraduates and interns. Research topics of all types: laboratory, clinical and community are welcome.
NOTE: Only meta analyses, systematic reviews, intervention studies, laboratory studies and observational studies will be allowed in the Scientific Poster Presentation. Case reports/studies should be presented in the Clinical Case Presentation event.
