CUE Hosts IFMSA-Kurdistan EMR Camp 3.0 to Empower Future Healthcare Professionals

CUE hosted the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA-Kurdistan) EMR Camp 3.0 for three days starting from 4-6 of September, 2026 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) from 8:30 am till 8:00 pm.

Kurdistan (IFMSA-International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations Kurdistan) is a nongovernmental, nonpolitical, and nonprofit organization founded in 2009 in Hawler by Dr. Zana Baban and Dr. Laila Ibrahim. It is a National Member Organization (NMO) of IFMSA and is run by medical students along with dentistry and pharmacy students in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

EMR Camp is a Sub-Regional Training (SRT), bringing together medical students and participants from across the Eastern Mediterranean Region for a multi-day experience focused on capacity building, non-formal education, networking, and cultural exchange. The camp featured five workshops designed to strengthen participants’ leadership, advocacy, training, and capacity-building skills while encouraging them to become more active contributors within IFMSA and their respective areas of interest.

A number of students from CUE’s medical departments, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Medical Laboratory Science participated in this camp, proudly representing CUE and contributing to the event’s diverse and collaborative environment.

Sponsoring this event reflects CUE’s social responsibility for the common good. This sponsorship marks as an important achievement and highlights its commitment to empowering students beyond classroom, fostering leadership, and developing personal and interpersonal skills to make a meaningful impact in the community.
