Tirocinium shall be the First International Medical Students Leadership Bootcamp promoted by FIAMC uniting the expertise of CMA Youth Sections from USA, Portugal, Croatia, Netherlands and Brazil.

We invite each national Catholic Medical Association (CMA) find students to join our Tirocinium.

If possible, we ask you to send the names of the two nominees to the e-mail societas.lucae@gmail.com. If your CMA does not have a student to nominate, we would ask you to share and promote the event locally so interested students can apply directly.
