What After Basic Medical Training?

📅 19:00-21:30 17/11/2026

📍 UZ Gent, Auditorium D

Hey everyone!!
Are you curious about everything that’s possible after your basic medical training, beyond the classic specialisations?
“What After Basic Medical Training?” focuses specifically on the wide range of career opportunities after your medical degree.
During this panel discussion, we mainly bring together doctors who are active in lesser-known fields. They share their personal experiences and show how they found their own way off the traditional path. In this way, we want to make it clear that your future as a doctor is much broader than just the well-known specialisations.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll announce who will be coming to tell you their story. An ideal opportunity to get to know both the less obvious and the more familiar paths better and to broaden your own outlook on the future! One thing is already certain: it will be a fascinating evening full of surprising insights for everyone!

We hope to see you there!
See you then!

Werkgroepvergadering Human rights week

📅 18:00-19:00 18/11/2026

📍 UZ Gent, leszaal K3 5.1

Human rights are a basic right. Yet they are far from always respected, and they remain under pressure. Those who take action for them are also severely punished. Like Daria Egereva from Russia, who is in prison because she stood up for the rights of her people and their country. Or Humphrey Polepole from Tanzania, who disappeared after criticising the government and has been missing ever since.

Although it sometimes seems far away from us, it is precisely very important that we take action too. Every little bit helps, and together we can really make a difference.

That's why we're soon organising the Human Rights Week again, in which, together with Amnesty International, we'll have as many letters written as possible to support Daria and Humphrey, among others. There will also be an extra project, which we'd love to brainstorm about with you!

So come to our working group meeting, we could really use your help and inspiration!
Hopefully see you soon!!

Teddy Bear Hospital working group meeting 2

📅 18:00-20:00 19/11/2026

📍 UZ Gent, K3 4.1

At the ‘Teddy Bear Hospital’, we briefly turn children into doctors and their cuddly toys into patients. During the week of 22/02-26/02, we transform the Sterre into a mini hospital. We do this to take away the fear of ‘the white coat’ and to introduce children to a hospital setting in a playful way. To organise this project, we’re looking for volunteers! Would you like to come up with the activity stations, put the project in the spotlight or simply be part of a fantastic working group?

Sip & Paint voor World AIDS Day

📅 19:00-00:00 30/11/2026

📍 Leszaal de Brug

🎨❤️ SCORA Sip & Paint is back! 🍹
Hey dearest SCORA enthusiasts! 🫶
It's finally here: our well-known Sip & Paint is coming back! 🥳 Time to bring out your inner Picasso for a cosy evening full of creativity, tasty drinks and an important message.

📅 When? Monday 30/11
📍 Where? The room above the Brug
💸 Price? €5

We're not organising this evening for nothing. With our Sip & Paint, we want to create awareness around the fight against HIV and AIDS. Although millions of people worldwide live with HIV or are affected by AIDS, there is still a big taboo around this subject.
The red HIV ribbon is the symbol of this fight. That's why we'd like to incorporate it into your artworks, each with your own personal twist! 🎨
And this year we're doing things a little differently: instead of painting on canvases, we're painting on tote bags! 👜 That way you don't just go home with a unique creation and a fun memory of a fantastic evening, you can also keep spreading awareness afterwards with your own artwork.

A Sip & Paint wouldn't be a Sip & Paint without tasty drinks, of course! We'll treat you to all kinds of goodies, including irresistible cocktails and mocktails. 🍸✨
We'll also welcome a speaker who will tell us more about living with HIV. That way we combine a creative evening with the chance to learn something, reflect on this important theme and break the taboo together.

For the student-friendly price of €5, you can let your creativity run free all evening. And it gets even better: all proceeds go to the HIV Cure Research Center of UZ Ghent. ❤️

📝 Important: how do you sign up?
Your registration is only final after transferring €5 to account number BE30 363224251411, with the reference: 'Sip & Paint + your name'. Also fill in the accompanying forms: https://forms.gle/UtbkDfJM9bGCSGhh8

👯‍♀️ Feel free to bring friends, because everyone is more than welcome in our creative studio! Whether you're a born artist or simply fancy a cosy evening, we look forward to making something beautiful together.
We hope to see you in large numbers for an evening full of colour, cosiness and solidarity! ❤️🎨

See you then!
Love,
Your PVs, Hélène & Mila
Your LORAs, Manon & Bram
