THEME:

“Creativity in Health Professionals Life”

Despite its presumed role as the engine of development at the level of individuals and nations, we know surprisingly little about the drivers of scientific and medical creativity. Creativity is possible in all areas of human activity, including the arts, sciences, at work at play and in all other areas of daily life. All people have creative abilities and we all have them differently. When individuals find their creative strengths, it can have an enormous impact on self-esteem and on overall achievement.

The federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA) represented by the FIMA Students Affairs Council (FIMASAC), in their activities directed to medical students, always endeavours to build up sound and complete personality in the early course of life. Creativity is a crucial feature in the optimal personality for our Muslim medical professionals. In this camp, we try to shed light on this topic from theory to practice and share genuine examples from the old and recent history. The sessions and discussions are focused on the application within the medical field and the personal life utilizing the contemporary experience with guidance and flavours of Islamic teachings.

Complementary programs will be given in the form of lectures, discussions, meetings and debates on Islamic and professional issues. Eminent local and international speakers are invited for participation in the camp activities.
