This issue is often overlooked, especially among the younger generation, who take shortcuts to achieve unrealistic beauty standards.

Each conference organizes academic activities for medical students from various countries to present their research around the conference theme.
EAMSC 2024 aims to inspire medical students to analyze global health issues in more depth and utilize the role of medical students in promoting public health.
The competition encourages students to think beyond what they study at university through various academic, sociocultural, and community service activities that explore the specified conference theme.
