What is MaSCo?

Marmara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesinde bu sene yirmi beşincisi düzenlenecek olan MaSCo; öğrencileri bilimsel araştırma yapmaya teşvik eden ve yapılan araştırmaların sunulmasına olanak sağlayan bir öğrenci kongresidir.

MaSCo is a Marmara Medicine tradition; students of Marmara University Faculty of Medicine serve up the results of their research projects, which carried under the supervision of their faculty members. This process is a part of the medical faculty education program. This scientific tradition started in 2001. In the following years, the Introduction to the Clinical Practice program, which was a part of the first three-year curriculum of Marmara University Faculty of Medicine, provided a suitable environment for the flourishing and development of MaSCo seeds with its research component.

Since the first MaSCo, student researches have been presented with posters and oral presentations, and numerous conferences, panels and workshops have been held. MaSCo hosts more than 140 scientific researches prepared by our faculty students throughout the year, as well as many research and presentations by external participants, and welcomes guests from many different medical faculties.

Araştırma sunumlarını ve birbirinden değerli konuşmacılarımızın yaptığı konferansları içeren bilimsel program, çeşitli alanlarda düzenlenen atölyeler ve katılımcıların eğlenceli vakit geçirmesini sağlayan sosyal program içeriğimizle yaklaşık 1000 kişilik katılım ile bu yıl kongremizin yirmi beşincisi gerçekleşecektir.

MaSCo 2014 yılından itibaren her yıl Marmara Üniversitesi Başıbüyük Sağlık Bilimleri Kampüsü’nde gerçekleşmektedir. Bu kampüsteki fakültemiz Türkiye’nin en büyük temel bilimler binası özelliği taşımaktadır.

ICP Research and National Presentations

Marmara University Faculty of Medicine students are obliged to conduct scientific research under the ICP (Introduction to Clinical Practice) program throughout the year. Students who get in contact with the advisors appointed by the ICP delegation complete their research until MaSCo, and thus, they have done three studies in the first three years. These researches are original and proudly represent our faculty in many congresses held by national and international academicians.

Approximately 140 presentations are evaluated at MaSCo each year with changing numbers of oral and poster presentations.
