At the Student Medical Association, our events are designed to bridge the gap between students and the medical world. Each workshop, seminar, and panel connects aspiring healthcare professionals with doctors, researchers, and mentors who provide real-world insight into medicine’s many pathways. By creating these opportunities, we aim to help students explore, experience, and envision their future in the medical field with clarity and confidence.
CPR AED & First Aid Workshop
Our CPR and AED Workshop equipped students with essential lifesaving skills through certified American Heart Association (AHA) training. Over 21 SMA members successfully earned their CPR and First Aid certifications, gaining the confidence and knowledge to respond effectively in real emergency situations.
Medical Specialty Seminar
The SMA Specialty Seminar brought together three distinguished healthcare professionals — Dr. Ayoub Dakson (Neurosurgeon), Dr. Fayez Altherban (Public Health Specialist), and Dr. Mohammad Al-Mazedi (Dentist) — to provide students with firsthand insight into the diverse fields of medicine. Through engaging talks and an open Q&A panel, attendees explored each doctor’s unique journey, daily responsibilities, and advice for aspiring medical students
