Other related issues that will be discussed include challenges and solutions to integrating students from different cultures and ensuring equal access to educational resources and academic support; recommendations of the Conference of Rectors of Academic Medical Universities regarding the accreditation of the World Federation for Medical Education for medical graduates; an well as initiatives promoting multiculturalism at the university.
