EMA Junior Doctors Network (JDN) | Interim Committee Onboarding Successfully Completed
The Ethiopian Medical Association (EMA) has successfully concluded the onboarding session of the Interim Committee of its Junior Doctors Network (JDN).
Over the coming six months, the Interim Committee will lead preparatory activities, initiate key programs, and lay a strong foundation for the sustainable development of the JDN. This transitional period will culminate in the election of the official JDN Committee during the 63rd Annual Conference of the Ethiopian Medical Association.
We are confident that the Interim Committee will demonstrate strong leadership, commitment, and collaboration while establishing a supportive and productive environment for the incoming JDN leadership to build upon.
This is more than a transition; it is an opportunity to build a stronger, more engaged, and empowered community of young doctors in Ethiopia.
