Workshops
A Professional & Research Exchange Training (PRET) is
an international meeting of the IFMSA, where exchange
officers and exchange motivated students from a region
can meet and participate in trainings, workshops and
small working groups. PRETs are organized by an
Organizing Committee (OC) within a National Member
Organization (NMO) that volunteers to find board
and lodging, to coordinate the trainings, SWGs and
workshops and to organize a social program for all the
participants. The main objective of the program is to
improve exchanges in the region.
