We had our 1st visit to Ukraine in April and were thrilled to return again this past November. Our program is focused on enhancing medical education for clinicians and medical students at the National University of Uzhhorod. The IMR team, comprised of volunteer physicians who were skilled and dedicated teachers, led seminars that incorporated didactic and simulation sessions. Our efforts garnered attention locally and Josh, our co-founder and medical director, was interviewed on a news channel. This recognition not only highlights the importance of our work but also catalyzes broader awareness and support within our community. Together with our partners, we continue to aspire to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the evolving needs of their communities in Uzzhorod.

 

Lecture sessions

 

Our 2024 goals are to continue to support primary care education and expand lecture topics guided by our partners at the National University. We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University, which reinforced our commitment, and the partnership was also featured on their website. This agreement underscores our shared values and aspirations, serving as a foundation for continued collaboration.

 

Thrilled to sign our agreement with Uzhhorod University

 

In 2024, we also hope to hold a women’s health symposium in partnership with local non-profits, including the local Zonta club Uzhhorod, Heart to Heart Ukraine, and the local regional youth leadership office that is now headed by our IMR Ukraine youth representative Mariya Y.

We want to extend our gratitude to everyone who participated and those who volunteered their time to this wonderful collaboration. We look forward to returning to Uzhhorod later this year!

Wonderful to meet the medical students
