Conference of Atlantic Medical Students
Halifax, Nova Scotia, is proud to be hosting the Conference of Atlantic Medical Students (CoAMS) in April, 2024.
Innovation and Inspiration: Resilience in a World of Change.
The past year was a testing year for Nova Scotians and Atlantic Canadians alike. Unprecedented wildfires destroyed hundreds of homes days before flash floods swept people, vehicles, and bridges away, all while our healthcare system, relied upon by so many in Canada, continued to be pushed to the brink. It has become clear that the world in which we will one day practise medicine is increasingly different from the one our teachers and parents grew up in, and with that change comes new and unique challenges.
