ABOUT ECCO
Early Learning in Medicine Clinical Conference Otago (ECCO) is an annual conference held for 2nd and 3rd year medical students at the University of Otago Medical School. This year will be the 19th iteration of ECCO that has been held by the Otago University Medical Students’ Association (OUMSA). Our theme for 2024 is ‘WHAKAMANA: Unleashing the Potential’. Whakamana encapsulates the essence of empowerment and elevation which is what ECCO 2024 aims to provide. We have chosen this theme because as medical students we are the future of healthcare in Aotearoa and so we must reach new heights in knowledge, skill and compassion while building strength and unity with each other. ECCO 2024 will light the way for unlocking the capabilities of the next generation of Aotearoa’s health professionals.
OUR MISSION
YOUR LOCAL CONFERENCE
ECCO, originally named MECA (Medical Educational Conference of Aotearoa), aims to set the academic foundations of the medical students attending for their future careers by firstly providing a pre-clinical conference (the first of many for the students) introducing them to the intricacies of medical conferences and secondly by covering interesting and important aspects of the medical field not covered by the medical school curriculum.
