The Swiss Medical Students’ Convention (SMSC) is the national convention of swimsa for all medical students in the whole of Switzerland. This convention took place for the very first time in 2005 in Bern. Since 2007 it is held twice a year (once per semester). Each time the congress is organized by a different medical faculty, which alternate on a rotating basis. The SMSC has grown over the past few years and is now a permanent fixture in the calendars of many medical students. 

With interesting lectures, workshops and debates, topics which are neglected in the university or which are currently topical in health policy are placed at the forefront. Projects and student bodies are given the opportunity to present their activities and inspire their fellow students through the Project Fair.

This event is intended to give medical students an opportunity for personal exchange, education and networking. The congress aims to broaden horizons and show that studying medicine is more than just exams and university textbooks.
