DATE: 7TH NOVEMBER, 2025

SUBJECT: LAUNCH OF THROUGH THE STETHOSCOPE: MEDCASE MONDAY

Dear Members,

The Zambia Medical Students' Association is pleased to announce the launch of a new academic initiative titled "Through the Stethoscope: MedCase Monday". This platform is designed to provide medical students with the opportunity to present clerked cases in a structured academic setting beyond the ward environment.

Objectives:
• Enhance clinical reasoning and diagnostic skills
• Improve case presentation and communication techniques
• Foster peer-to-peer learning and professional mentorship

Presentation Guidelines:
• Cases may be drawn from any medical specialty
• A maximum of two presenters is permitted per case
• Presenters must prepare a PowerPoint presentation for their session
• Each presentation will be moderated by a qualified doctor to ensure academic rigor and provide mentorship
• Students who would like to present their clerked cases are encouraged to get in touch with the ZAMSA Academic Secretary for scheduling and guidance.

We encourage all members to take advantage of this enriching opportunity to learn, share, and grow together as future medical professionals.

VENOM UNVEILED 🐍

🎓 Meet Mr Marcel van Driel — Director of Snake Safety Zambia & Author of “Snakes and First Aid in Snakebite in Zambia”.

With over a decade in Zambia’s herpetology and snake-bite field, Mr van Driel has:

• Authored the guide above.

• Helped draft Zambia’s national Guidelines on Snakebite Prevention & Management.

• Trained countless healthcare workers and first-responders in reptile-related trauma.

• Fun Fact: He once operated on an injured python during his fieldwork, proving his commitment goes far beyond research.

📣 Join the session:

“Introduction to Venom Types & How to Recognise Them in a Bite Victim”

Because on our clinical ward, we are already treating snake-bite cases, this knowledge isn’t optional. It’s essential.

A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen.
It can affect anyone, at any time, and prompt recognition and treatment can save lives and improve recovery outcomes.

Remember to BE FAST when identifying stroke symptoms:

B – Balance: Sudden loss of balance or coordination

E – Eyes: Sudden blurred or double vision

F – Face: Facial drooping on one side

A – Arms: Weakness or numbness in one arm

S – Speech: Slurred or strange speech

T – Time: Time to call emergency services immediately

With stroke, every minute counts therefore acting fast can mean the difference between recovery and severe brain injury.

The cap and gown are symbols of an ending, but what comes next is the true beginning. For many of doctors, the transition from graduation to a fulfilling career can feel like uncharted territory—a space filled with more questions than answers.

This period isn't a pause; it's a crucial phase of strategic positioning. It's a time to redefine our value beyond our primary degree, to bridge the gap between academic excellence and the dynamic opportunities of the world.

At the Zambia medical students association AGM 2025 will be joining with a panel discussion on *Post-Graduation Transition and Positioning Yourself for Opportunities.* Let's move beyond the uncertainty together, and learn how to strategically align our skills for the careers we deserve.
