About the meeting

Breaking barriers

Graduates of medical schools in Czech Republic and Slovakia are spread around the world.  Outside of their home countries they hold the status of International Medical Graduates (IMG) with all of the implications. One of the common patterns anecdotally observed is reduced publishing and presentation activity in the face of clinical duties in new and often unfamiliar medical systems. We make every effort to break these barriers and allow speakers to present.

Learning platform

MUDr Talks is a professional development meeting intended for clinicians in postgraduate training practising around the world. Short lectures of 20-30 minutes length provide fresh and concise take on various medical and surgical topics. Talks are not peer reviewed but each of them is accompanied with a dedicated Q&A section. Speakers who graduated from medical schools in Czech Republic and Slovakia and are practicing medicine outside of these countries are invited. All talks are recorded and available for view at a later date.

Pandemic-proof

Medical education has been significantly affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Events have been cancelled and training disrupted. MUDr Talks is currently a live online meeting. This format is easy to deliver and allows us to reach a far bigger audience. Depending on the situation, the format of the future meetings may change to hybrid ones. We understand the importance of the face-to-face social interaction and we will keep you updated.

Networking

The meeting gives an opportunity to meet new people, make new connections or just strengthen the old ones. Reunite with an old colleague from the medical school or introduce yourself to a new one from abroad. New opportunities lie ahead.
