V Balearic Meeting of European Residents and Young GPs of Ibamfic
Family Medicine: A Cinema Specialty
It is a great honor for us to invite you to the V Balearic Meeting of European Residents and Young GPs of the Ibamfic (Balearic Society of Family and Community Medicine), which will be held in Palma de Mallorca on September 15th and 16th of 2017.
In this fifth edition, we want to pay homage to all Family Doctors, who could certainly inspire an exciting script for Hollywood. To do this, we will support the seventh art to demonstrate that Family Medicine is a Cinema Specialty. The sessions will be taught mostly by GP experts in each one of the subjects and the official language of the Meeting will be English (Easy English format).
One more time, assistants will be able to increase their participation in the event by sending scientific works (research, professional experiences, clinical cases...). The best oral communication and the best poster will be awarded with 1 inscription to the 23rd WONCA Europe Conference (Krakow, May 2018) and to the 5th VdGM Forum (Porto, January 2018), respectively.
The Meeting has been organized without the participation of the pharmaceutical industry, with a low cost format, to promote the assistance of young doctors.
For the occasion, we are also organizing our traditional Conference Exchange, inviting residents and young doctors from all Europe, who will enjoy a rotation week in a GP practice in Palma de Mallorca, thanks to the collaboration of the Vasco Da Gama Movement.
We are working with great enthusiasm so that you can enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience so the Balearic Society of Family and Community Medicine and Vasco da Gama Movement encourage you to participate in this Meeting & Conference Exchange; you will not be disappointed!!!
