Letter: The Advantages of Holding Local Medical Students’ Congresses

We have read with great interest the recently published article by Saiedi Hosseini SY (1) in your journal, which suggested that local medical students’ congresses (2) are not necessary and useful. In this regard, the results of the local medical students’ congresses should be examined from two aspects: One aspect is the scientific production and presentation of the latest scientific and technological achievements (as the final purpose) and another aspect is to educate and provide opportunities for novice researchers. In other words, three groups of students would benefit best from upholding such congresses: 1- The oral poster presenters 2- The scientific and executive committee of congresses 3- Attendants at the congress.
