MMSA has once again been asked to aid in screening athletes participating in the Special Olympics. This year, we will be carrying tests both in Ophthalmology and in Audiology. This event aims to provide comprehensive screenings for individuals with intellectual disabilities, providing essential care services to Special Olympics athletes. All participants will receive a certificate signed by Dr Lydia Abela, the President of the Special Olympics, acknowledging your valuable contribution to this important initiative. All members signing up will receive the appropriate training to carry out these tests. Preference will be given to clinical students.

Dates: 11th and 12th October 2025
Times: 8:30-12:30, 12:30-16:30
Location: DoubleTree by Hilton, St Paul's Bay
