By focusing on the integration of technology into clinical training, Morocco Sim aspires to shape the future of healthcare by creating a space dedicated to discovery and excellence in the clinical field.
Morocco Sim aims to be a meeting point for all healthcare professionals who collectively manage citizens’ health in real life. As such, Morocco Sim members are medical doctors, dental health professionals, pharmacy professionals, nursing professionals, allied health professionals such as physiotherapists and dieticians, medical technologists and technicians, social workers, and medical administrative staff who together provide support in various healthcare settings and play a vital role in the healthcare system, contributing to patient care, wellness promotion, disease prevention, and overall healthcare delivery.
The location chosen by Morocco Sim for this edition is the millenary city of Fes, for its rich history in the field of education. Its famous Qaraouiyine University is the world’s very first established university, and its founder is a pre-eminent Moroccan woman named Fatima al Fihrya.
