Welcome

Dear Colleagues
and Friends,
It is a great
pleasure for us to invite you to attend the 3rd International
Conference of Medical Students and Junior Doctors on
Family Medicine, which will be held from 8 to 9 May
2009 in Lodz, Poland!
The ambitious aim of the Conference is to encourage
medical students and junior doctors from all over the
world to conduct scientific research in the field of
Family Medicine.
On behalf of the Organising Committee we welcome you
to Lodz and especially to our Conference. No one who
seriously thinks of the career in the field of Family
Medicine should miss this golden opportunity to present
his/her results and discuss them with peers from other
countries and continents. We believe that this Conference
will be also an unique platform for exchange of experience
and promotion of Family Medicine world-wide.
We warmly welcome everybody. We hope to meet you all
again in Lodz, one of the most interesting and dynamic
cities in Poland. Lodz offers an abundant spectrum of
architectural and cultural highlights, in particular
its well-known pieces of Secession (Art Noveau) style
as well as unique XIX-century industrial architecture.
Please visit our site frequently for updates of the
programme and other information you may need for planning
your travel to Lodz. Please also have a look at the
vibrant photos taken during 2nd Conference! link>>
