The medical students’ training events organised by JUSTRI have been well received in the past and it was with great sadness that those planned for 2020 were delayed during the COVID pandemic. However, two have now been completed in 2022, albeit with some difficulties.
A planned meeting in Skopje in June 2022 had to be changed to a virtual one via zoom after the Justri crew could not make it when the airline cancelled flights and rescheduled them at a time which was not suitable. This overall worked very well with our onsite colleague Milena delivering her lecture in person. The planned meeting in Tirana in October 2022 went ahead as planned and students from Skopje were bought to attend…effectively combining the two meetings into one. This was the first-time medical students from these adjacent countries had been trained together. (See the Report for full details)
The Medical Students meeting covered a history of HIV, coinfection, ‘sex is messy’, HIV in Albania and the intriguing ‘banana challenge.
I would like to thank you, Mike, on behalf of the students and residents who attended this great training event. The thanks go to you and Laura, Andrew and Velimir for great talks and very special atmosphere! I met some students today when they came for the ID round, and they were very pleased and excited having attended this meeting. Looking forward to hearing from you about future activities with JUSTRI.
