A new online platform has been launched with over 5.000 members selected from the Semmelweis Alumni Network. The aim is to bring the community closer and to share programs, career opportunities and social awareness. After the test launch, the entire Semmelweis alumni community, tens of thousands of people from over 70 countries around the world, will be able to use the platform.
