About us | Student Section for

Brief
History

Every group or collective has a story about how they became what they are now, and so do we. Ours goes back to the year 2015 when our founding members studied together for the pharmacology exam. The course was very demanding, and Damir was fussing (as usual) about how there should be some sort of additional help for this course or even a specific student network. Since there was no time for anything but studying the curriculum and actually passing the course, the idea of a specific student network was set aside for a while.

This is important because they not only noticed the lack of sections at our School of Medicine, but a few semesters later, they became the first ones to do something about it.

The School of Medicine, University of Mostar, opened its doors, and PHARMiON began its activities in November of 2018 as the first student section. Since then, it has been PHARMiON's dedication to interest more students in the fields of pharmacology and immunology through workshops lectures, as well as to promote scientific research projects among.

On November 8th, 2018. PHARMiON activities begin at the School of Medicine, University of Mostar, starting with an introductory lecture. The student section was founded by Damir Vukoja , Section Coordinator, Anamaria Sivrić (Project Manager), and Iva Šaravanja (Media Coordinator), who achieved significant projects, including collaborations with NeuroSt, BoHeMSA, Student Section for Emergency Medicine, Probion and nutricionizirajse.hr. They focused on providing research opportunities for members, with notable achievements in scientific writing and acute poisoning courses, as well as a team-building movie night.

This team, with Ana Pavičić as their section coordinator, began with their work in October 2021, focusing on elevating PHARMiON's scientific research. They organized a lecture for final-year students to assist with their graduate theses, leading to a downloadable template.

Activities included a panel on immunization, workshops on scientific paper writing, and celebrations for Brain Awareness Week with younger students. They also contributed to a scientific symposium, hosted a webinar on chronic disease interactions, and engaged incoming students with Magistral Workshops, while forming a partnership with the BrainGut Axis Conference and attending various conferences.
