Emergency Medicine Summer School is a project led by EMSA Zagreb (European Medical Students Association) with the goal of education medical students in the area of emergency medicine. The school is held at the end of July/beginning of August and is located at the beautiful Croatian city of Zadar. During the summer school participants are able to get familiar with the theory and practical skills of working in the field of emergency medicine through various lectures and many practical workshops including: sewing, tracheotomy, BLS, FAST ultrasound and more. A big part of our summer school is the Immediate Life Support (ILS) course that the participants take with the possibility of passing the exam at the end of the school to acquire the ILS certificate. Of course after all the learning there is always a social programe prepared for everyone as well as free time to enjoy the beauties of the Croatian coastline and the beaches.
During the EMSS, participants will engage in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to emergency medicine through a series of lectures and hands-on workshops. Topics covered will include suturing, tracheotomy, Basic Life Support (BLS), FAST ultrasound, and more. A key highlight of the program is the certified Immediate Life Support (ILS) course, where participants can earn an ILS certificate by passing the final exam. All participants will receive course materials and have access to a variety of emergency medicine topics.
Alongside the academic program, EMSS offers a fun and engaging extracurricular experience. A lively social program is prepared for all participants, with plenty of free time to explore the beautiful Croatian coastline and enjoy the beaches. The highlight of the week is the Gala Dinner on the final night — a perfect way to celebrate new friendships and unforgettable memories.
Accommodation will be provided at a local student dormitory, located just a few minutes' walk from the lecture halls. Participants will share rooms in groups of two to three, and each room includes a private en-suite bathroom. Please note that the dormitory does not have air conditioning.
