The 7th Malaysian Medical Summit (MMS) 2021 will be held virtually from July 17 to 18, from 9am to 5pm via Zoom with the theme "Medicine: Bridging with Multiverse".

Set up in 2013 as a non-profit association by medical undergraduates, Malaysian Medics International (MMI) is organizing a two-day virtual conference that features keynote addresses by a distinguished panel of medical experts and leading figures from the country’s healthcare and medical education institutions.

The summit will feature prominent healthcare professionals including Dr Vijay Ganasan (chairman of MMA SCHOMOS), Dr Kelvin Yii (MP Bandar Kuching) and Nisha Ayub (award-winning transgender activist and co-founder of SEED Malaysia).

On the other hand, the virtual pre-summit workshop to call for resolution on issues faced by housemen in Malaysia will take place earlier on July 10, and will feature esteemed guest speakers including Dr Azrul Mohd Khalib (head and founder of Galen Centre, Health and Social Policy), Mas Mahathir (managing director of Mahathir Academy of Public Speaking), Dr Mohd Arham bin Mohd Noor (principal assistant director at Medical Development Division, MOH), Dr Kevin Ng Wei Shan (deputy secretary, Malaysian Medical Association MMA), Dr Arulalan Tan Sri Kumaran (director of Policy and International Relations Division of Malaysian Medical Council MMC) and many more.

Malaysian Medical Summit (MMS) aims to create a platform for key policy makers from the Health Ministry to engage medical students on the latest issues and challenges faced by industry professionals.

The annual flagship event offers plenary lectures, panel discussions and workshops that challenge delegates, ranging from the future of telemedicine and artificial intelligence, healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community, contract doctor system, housemanship and alternative career pathways.

There will also be an exclusive two-hour session MMS General Assembly (GA) on July 18 aimed at producing and presenting a memorandum to bring change to our healthcare system through the collective voice of medical students and doctors from all over Malaysia.

The delegates will dissect, discuss and debate on the various issues affecting the housemanship training system in Malaysia today, in which the resolution achieved at the conclusion of the event will be submitted to representative from the Ministry of Health Dr Shahrum bt Ismail (deputy director, Medical Development Division).

Other events include an interactive medical quiz which will be held on the second day to encourage inter-varsity involvement.

The participation fee for the two-day summit is RM40.
