| Lessons/suggestions | You need to plan this event at least a month or two beforehand and make sure you receive adequate funding for the lunches. This made hosting this event easier as compared to previous years. The idea of having two lectures simultaneously each day worked because there was always something that interested the medical students on that particular day. |
