Hellenic Medical Society of Australia award inaugural medical student scholarship

·

Hellenic Medical Society of Australia (HMSA) members, guests and sponsors gathered for the End of Year Rooftop Celebration held at Le Ciel Events in Cremorne on Thursday, November 23.

With a perfect warm evening, scrumptious food and flowing drinks, 100 guests wined, dined and socialised with a city skyline backdrop. Friends reconnected and new friendships and professional relationships were also formed.

A few short speeches on the night allowed for plenty of socialising. HMSA President Associate Professor Marinis Pirpiris co-hosted the event with HMSA board member Dr Ben Filipopoulos.

Associate Professor Pirpiris thanked the guests and was touched by the turn out on the night.

He highlighted that after the last couple of years that have been challenging in many ways from the COVID-19 pandemic and with current world events it was a welcomed feeling to see so many people being out and reconnecting again.
