Workshops of the 16th Warsaw International Medical Congress:
Advanced Life Support (ALS)
Organiser: Students’ Scientific Group, 1st Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Warsaw
When: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Where: room 140, Centrum Dydaktyczne
Number of participants i.e. available places: 15
Form: Practical
Description: The workshops will consist of a series of high-fidelity simulations. The participants will put theory into practice – they will be able to practice performing CPR and implement ALS algorithms used in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest. We are also planning a live broadcast of the event to enable a wider audience to watch the simulations and recall how to respond to a life-threatening situations.
Echocardiography in practice
Organiser: Students’ Scientific Group, 1st Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Warsaw
When: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Where: room 141/142, Centrum Dydaktyczne
Number of participants i.e. available places: 18
Form: Practical
Description: The participants will have the opportunity to learn and train the basic skills necessary to perform an echocardiographic assessment of the patient. We are also planning a live broadcast of the event to enable a wider audience to watch the session.
Point of Care Ultrasound
Organiser: Students’ Scientific Group ‘ANKONA’
When: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Where: room 118/119 Centrum Dydaktyczne
Number of participants i.e. available places: 20
Form: Theoretical and practical
Description: We will explain the rules of basic protocols such as eFAST or BLUE and then let you grab the probe and put the theory into practice. In addition, we will train the ultra-sound guided vascular access!
Laryngological examination
Organiser: Student’s Otorhinolaryngology Scientific Group, Faculty of Dental Medicine
When: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Where: room 8, Centrum Biblioteczno-Informacyjne
Number of participants i.e. available places: 20
Form: Practical
Description: During our workshops we would like to teach you otorhinolaryngological examination using laryngological tools. Detailed assessment of the upper airways which include oral cavity, pharyngx and laryngx will be performed. We want to simplify and clarify the subject as it could be valuable for paediatricians, general practitioners or even surgeons on their duties at emergency rooms.
CANCELLED: A practical approach to Endocrinology
Organiser: Students’ Scientific Group „Endocrinus”
When: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Number of participants i.e. available places: 18
Form: Theoretical
Description: The workshops will be based on interesting case studies and focus on clinical reasoning, diagnosis and management of patients.
CANCELLED: Assessment of olfactory function
Organiser: Student’s Otorhinolaryngology Scientific Group, Faculty of Dental Medicine
When: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Number of participants i.e. available places: 10
Form: Practical
Description: We offer you the opportunity of taking part in basic course of the olfactory testing. Olfactory function is often overlooked by practicians. Moreover, olfactory dysfunction is difficult to identify for patients, as they may confuse it with gustatory dysfunction. During our workshops we will be explaining the complexity of scent perceptions and its huge role in flavour determination. Olfactory function assessment will be carried using Sniffin’ Sticks markers.
ECG – basic interpretation in clinical practice
Organiser: Students’ Scientific Group, 1st Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Warsaw
When: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Number of participants i.e. available places: 100
Form: ONLINE
Description: ECG interpretation workshop in an on-line formula, specifically focused on ECG phenomena that every clinician should be capable of recognizing. The workshop is focused on practical interpretation. Participants will take a quiz during which they will have to choose the correct interpretation of a given ECG reading. Every case will be explained after each quiz question. The workshop will take place on Zoom and Kahoot platforms.
Opthalmology workshop
Organiser: Students’ Scientific Group “Lens”
When: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Where: room 141/142, Centrum Dydaktyczne
Number of participants i.e. available places: 15
Form: Theoretical and practical
Description: The workshops will allow you to learn and acquire the skills to perform basic tests used in ophthalmological diagnostics, useful in the daily practice of other specialties.
Clinical nutrition as a way of treatment support
Organiser: Clinical Nutrition Students’ Scientific Club
When: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Number of participants i.e. available places: 100
Form: ONLINE
Description: Malnutrition is one of the biggest problems of hospitalised patients. About a third of them is already malnourished coming to the hospital, while being there things only get worse. It is estimated that 50% of patients leaving the hospital show symptoms of malnutrition. There are a few factors determining this problem, one of them being lack of knowledge of the medical staff. The workshop is to present the types and symptoms of malnutrition, methods of clinical nutritional intervention (e.g. enteral and parenteral nutrition) with emphasis on patients that are in a group of high risk of malnutrition and its complications. It will also include the presentation of different tubes and pomps (e.g. nasogastric tube, PEG, PEJ) used to feed the patients. We will solve some cases together and answer all of your burning questions!
