Abstract

The seventh annual Conference of Atlantic Medical Students (CoAMS) was held from April 26-28, 2024, at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This student-led initiative brought together over 100 medical students from the four medical school campuses in Atlantic Canada. The goals of the conference were to convene like-minded medical students, encourage networking, stimulate intellectual discourse, and provide learning opportunities through a variety of practical workshops. In this article, we reflect on the importance of this successful weekend to ensure continued enthusiasm for CoAMS amongst medical students in Atlantic Canada.
