A. Event description
− Asia Pacific Regional Meeting (APRM) is one of the annual regional
meetings of IFMSA held within Asia Pacific (though not only limited to
for Non-Asia Pacific countries to participate!).
− This year, APRM 2018 will be held in Korea, a beautiful country in the
Pacific Coast of East Asia
− Seoul is the principal tourist destination for visitors; popular tourist
destinations outside of Seoul include Seorak-san national park, the historic
city of Gyeongju and subtropical Jeju Island. Traveling to North Korea is
not normally possible without a special permission, but in recent years
organized group tours have allowed groups of South Korean citizens to
visit Mount Kumgang, where ancient traditions fused with modern life.
Visiting shrines and temples then hitting the city center for some shopping
is possible. Not to mention Japan’s pop culture, developed technology, and
unique cuisine : what could we ask for more?
− In this event, you will get the chance to get to know hundreds of medical
students from all corners of the world, expand your horizon, increase your
knowledge regarding international medical issues, and contribute directly
to IFMSA’s effort in solving those issues
