The Universitas Doctors’ Forum (UDF) is an event of the Foundation dedicated to uplifting the human and ethical standards of the medical profession in the country. It provides medical doctors and students alike a venue for the discussion of the deeper and broader aspects of the profession, with a particular emphasis on the importance of competence, moral stability and the formation of a good conscience in the life of a medical doctor.
A guest speaker is invited to each forum to share their experiences with the participants and to impart insights relevant to the field of medicine.
