Abstract

Some singularities of the medical degree program might alter the development of new training and teaching activities that involve the active participation of undergraduate students. As a result of the initial experience in conducting the first edition of a national congress for medical students in Francisco de Vitoria University (Madrid, Spain), the difficulties encountered during its planning and direction are detailed. The solutions adopted are presented with the aim of facilitating the organization of future similar events.
