We will describe all the issues presented and show you what the MM2016 should look like. We are open to any and all suggestions and questions so please do not hesitate to talk to us.
MoMSIC Montenegro Until 2007. year MoMSIC was part of YuMSIC(Yugoslovenian Medical Student Association). Since then we are growing as an NMO As proof of this, MoMSIC Montenegro was officially called upon by the government to organize the events and promotion of Pink October, we published the first student’s text book for medical students and we are the main partner with the Montenegrin Institute for Public Health for the Prevention of AIDS program and so on.
Motivation letter Dear, With this I would hereby like to express the motivation shown by all members of MOMSIC Montenegro, including myself, for the IFMSA General Assembly March Meeting 2016 in Budva. It was difficult for all of us four years ago when we were elected as MoMSIC Montenegro national officers and EB members. Unfortunately, we had no local support, but we still persevered by working slowly, diligently, and patiently. We are now official recognized as a NGO by our Medical faculty, by our University and by our Government.
