XXVI Colombian Scientific Congress of Medical Students
CECIM: 26 years promoting medical student research
Yeimer Ortiz-Martínez.*
The Colombian Medical Student Association of Scientific
Societies (ASCEMCOL) has as one of its main objectives,
promote the scientific culture on medical students and in
its 26 years of experience has integrated students from 33
faculties of the country in carrying out activities of scientific
character.
The Colombian Scientific Congress of Medical Students
(CECIM) organized annually by the ASCEMCOL, is the most
important congress on medical student research of the
country, where students can present and communicate the
results of their researches, protocols, clinical cases, medical
photographs and videos, having the opportunity to make a
presentation based on the same requirements used in the
international scientific events.
The XXVI version of the CECIM was held on 4-6 June 2015
at the city of Santiago de Cali, Colombia. The theme of this
important national congress was "Surgery, Cancer and Ge-
netics: from the forefront of medical science to research,
the art of generating knowledge". It was organized by the
ACEMVAL (Scientific Association of Medical Students of
the Universidad del Valle) and endorsed by the Faculty of
Health of the Universidad del Valle, the Cancer Registry of
Cali, the Colombian Association of Human Genetics and the
Colombian Association of Inborn errors of metabolism and
neonatal screening.
More than 400 students and healthcare workers participa-
ted in our congress, the medical conferences and the com-
petition of scientific works were a total success. About 30
national and international experts in the fields of surgery,
cancer and genetics were present at this national event and
additional courses were organized in subjects as evidence
based medicine, palliative care, research methodology and
how to write scientific articles, sexual education, human
rights and electrocardiography.
Among the international guests were Dr. Nubia Muñoz from
France, Dr. Armando Sardi from USA, Dr. King Jordan from
USA and Dr. Juan Fernando Cabello from Chile.
Our national congress has more international visibility
thanks to the partnership with the International Journal of
Medical Students (IJMS), because all the abstracts presen-
ted during the annually events will be published in the
supplements of the journal. We encourage you to submit
your research papers to IJMS and don't miss the chance to
participate in the XXVII edition of CECIM, which will take
place in Bucaramanga in May of 2016.
