Watching TED Talks, movies, listening podcasts, reading people’s ideas… there are amazing things that you could add and pursue them before you come to the end of the road.

AMEE STF 2020

If There is a will, There is a way! The Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) Student Task Force (STF) 2020 was unique in lots of ways. We were the first STF to have the Conference in an online platform, first to sit in front of computers rather than big stages to watch the
