The Kolkata Annual Research and Medical International Congresswww.karmic-imsa.in
KARMIC-2012 was one of the biggest events of the medical students in India. It's an attempt
by the Indian Medical Students' Association to act as a connecting link between the routine
curriculum of medical education and the recent advances of medical science.
Derived from the Sanskrit word "karma", which means "deed" or "act" and more broadly
means the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction, that governs all life,
KARMIC also believes in the deed/act of exchange and sharing of knowledge to have theeffect of enlightenment of the budding medical minds.
We, here at the Indian Medical Students Association are working towards a common
goal , the pursuit of knowledge and the application of knowledge in practical fields. It is in this
pursuit of knowledge that we organized KARMIC 2012. A conference par excellence, a truly
unique experience which aimed to bridge the gap between the recent advancements in
medical science and the routine curriculum of medical education.
Highlights of KARMIC 2012:
Keynote Lectures: By the eminent faculties from around the globe.
Workshops: Last year there were workshops on Molecular Biology, Emergency Medicine
and Biostatistics.
