Dear friends,

It is both my pleasure and my privilege to invite you to the 14th European Regional Meeting of the International Federation of Medical Students. As you read these lines, our colleagues in Turkey are working ceaselessly to provide us all with an unforgettable experience in April. As Regional Director I express my gratitude to them and wish them all manner of success in their preparations.

The Regional Meeting has a special place in IFMSA. Indeed, as an organization dedicated to positive impact on a community level, we would be lost without it. As the halfway point between the national and the international, our Regional Meeting serves as the perfect bridge between global thinking and local action. Whereas the General Assembly – the head of our federation – sets our direction, it is at the regional level that our ship sails toward a healthier and more sustainable future.

In a mere 4 months, medical students from 47 member organizations will gather in Antalya to learn, share experiences and engage in passionate debate. Together we shall explore the vital issues of Europe and better define our role as change agents within it. We will look outward to the world at large, and return home with new perspectives and ideas for implementation. We will honour the students among us who have truly excelled, and learn from the wisdom of others who work daily to make the world around us just a little bit better.

I’m happy to say that this regional meeting is taking place in Turkey. As one of the first members of the Council of Europe, Turkey serves as a fine reminder that one can be European whilst still retaining a strong individual identity. I argue that the same is true of every European state: despite the imaginary lines that get drawn and redrawn between us with every turning of the political cycle, the fact is that none of us are the same. We all come from wildly different backgrounds and respect different traditions – arguably the cornerstone of any good National Food and Drinks Party – yet at the same time we are alike. What unites us here in Europe also ties us together as future doctors anywhere in the world: the service of humanity. This service hinges on the understanding that we are all humans first before we become holders of passports and political convictions. I invite you all to explore this understanding within you, and I see no better way of doing that than by joining us in Antalya, Turkey on the 18th of April.

With warm regards on behalf of the Euroteam

Priit Tohver Regional Director for Europe

Dear IFMSA family, Merhaba,

As TurkMSIC, we are content to be elected as the host of the 14th European Regional Meeting. While our organizing committee are continuing to work vigorously to host the future healthcare leaders in our country, I feel very excited to be writing these lines.

The 14th EuRegMe is going to take place between 21-24 April 2017 in the city of Antalya and all IFMSA volunteers are welcome to attend this lovely event. We are confident that EuRegMe will be an unforgettable experience combined with Turkish culture and hospitality.

At this point, I would like to thank Priit, Regional Coordinator of Europe, for his fast and effective communication. I would also like to thank our NMO, all members of the TurkMSIC and every member of our executive board for their encouragement and full support. Last but not least, I wish to thank each and every member of the organizing committee for their team spirit, commitment and particularly for their friendship.

We are looking forward to have you as our guest. We welcome you to Turkey, where nature and history meet.

On behalf of the organizing committee,

To do this,numerous activities and projects are carried out by local committees from all over the country every year.

TurkMSIC has established partnerships with a range of institutions from the Turkish Ministry of Health, the Turkish Red Crescent, to Turkish Medical Association and a number of other governmental and non- governmental organizations.Through these partnerships, TurkMSIC enables medical students to better express their ideas.

We, as TurkMSIC, are honored to have the privilege to serve our members and make their medical journey more engaging and meaningful with our activities organized throughout the year in collaboration with our partners.
