Note from asker:
| Thank you Veronika. I guessed that 'medici' had some sort of medical meaning, but I cannot find any reference to it as a noun for medical student, doctor, etc. Is this an Anglicism, instead of using the usual Czech term? |

Fifth-year medical students will lead the roadshow.
We must translate concisely in active voice, but we mustn't forget that they're fifth-year med. students.
