The main aim of the EMPA for the long term is to spread the success and with that, the availability of the MD/PhD curriculum all over Europe. Obviously, this will not directly affect you in the coming years, but it will affect those that come after you. In the meantime, we do provide a medium through which EMPA members can find each other and collaborate, be it for scientific or social ends. The MD/PhD curriculum is one of the most rewarding but also one of the toughest to complete. The EMPA aims to connect more easily and provide a platform to help each other out. Also, we will need an organisation that perpetuates the effort, funds and knowledge that has been put into each European MD/PhD Conference. The EMPA will allow for continuation, growth and development of the annual conferences.
