ASCLEPIUS

Asclepius is back! The journey started in JSS MEDICAL COLLEGE, JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysuru back in 2018 followed by the year 2019 that proved to be a huge success, in which there were immense improvements made, and then the pandemic hit but Asclepius 2020 carried forward the legacy completely online!

Now we're back for the fourth edition!

This time it is completely online due to the current scenario of COVID-19 pandemic, but there's going to be no compromise on quality. This responsibility of organizing Asclepius is taken up by the Student Research Cell in association with the SPQR quiz society of JSSMC, powered by SKETCHY and MARROW. ASCLEPIUS 4.0, 2021 is coming back, with the aim to provide a unique platform for future doctors to network, collaborate and learn while instilling professionalism and good ethics.

This year, we have the UG International quiz, OCCAM'S RAZOR, named after the principle that the first solution is usually the right one, which forces abstract thinking and helps inter-relating various principles and concepts. We also have many other workshops such as 'Palliative Care' and 'Shock Waves' to name a few and various literary events such as Medical taboo and a Forensic treasure hunt to get all the gears in your brain running!

All in all, conferences like these are meant for the overall development of an individual and encouraging new approaches in life and Asclepius is absolutely ready for that.
