Czech term or phrase: Roadshow povedou medici 5. ročníků
I cannot understand the meaning of 'povedou medici' in this sentence.
It is from a press release about an advertising campaign for an insurance company.

Notes to answerer
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?
