After an insightful trip for a medical quiz in Mexico, the students of KMC sought to create a competition facilitating academic and cultural exchange in Manipal. Thus, the International Quiz For Medical Undergraduates was conceived and has been running successfully since 2017. Owing to the current global pandemic, the 5th edition of IQMU will take place from 4th to 6th June 2021 via an online platform to ensure the safety and well being of our participants.
