Challenges
Do you want to challenge yourself and test your skills? You want to combine theory and practice? You’ve come to the right place! By participating in the event, you’ll have the opportunity to solve several challenges both practical and theoretical. Let’s have a look!
Scan the QR code of the pictures and dive into complex clinical cases! Answer the questions quickly and shine with your knowledge.
Come and brainstorm on a health issue in a playful way with another group. Present your thoughts, debate and defend your ideas. Will you be the next saviours of humanity?
Team up with another pair and tackle a clinical case to observe the organs involved in turn. Take measurements and recognize anatomical structures to win this intense challenge.
Dress up as if you were going to the Operating Room, different organs to suture are waiting for you! Equip yourself with sewing equipment and close the gaps using various stitching techniques. You will be evaluated on technique and numbers of stitches.
Your partner has had a terrible fall and needs to be plastered over his fracture! Don't panic, another group will help you in this endeavour to secure your colleague's upper limb.
Take on the role of a Military Medic and attend to several wounded people in a war zone. Bring them to the stretcher and make sure they will survive the crisis by applying a Military Protocol.
You have finally opened your practice and are faced with a real patient who has come in with symptoms. Diagnose and treat the disease by asking the right questions and making the right connections.
Your passion for the human eye will be satisfied with this challenge! Solve a clinical case and use all the necessary equipment to make the right diagnosis.
A patient needs emergency intubation. Prepare everything you need and proceed with the intubation. A high voltage challenge!
The TOP4 teams are going to participate in the Final Game. These four groups will be invited to take the stage at the ''Closing Ceremony'' and will answer theoretical quizzes as if they were on a TV show. The winning group will be declared the overall winner of MedCup and will receive the Golden Prize. The other three groups will receive other amazing Prizes.
