The 6th Annual POHER Medical Research and Mentorship Symposium is dedicated to fostering collaboration and building connections among medical students from diverse institutions. Hosted by the Pan-African Organization for Health Education and Research (POHER) in collaboration with Copperbelt University School of Medicine (CBUSOM), South Sudan Medical Students' Association (SSMSA), and University of Lusaka Zambia (UNILUS) Medical Student Association. This year’s event emphasizes the importance of partnerships in research and encourages students to continue collaborating on projects and publications after the symposium.

The symposium also highlights the vital role of mentorship in advancing careers in medicine. Attendees will gain insights into various career paths and opportunities within the field.
