First Virtual Congress of General Practice and Family Medicine February 20, 2008

I recently wrote about the virtual conference of the International Virtual Association of Surgeons. Now, here is the First Virtual Congress of General Practice and Family Medicine:

Both world-wide communication and the compelling necessity to follow the development of medical art in general and particularly General Practice/Family Medicine, make Internet communication an essential working tool. It also encourages the exchange of opinions and information among peers.

Bearing this in mind, the Virtual General Practice/Family Medicine Working Group of the Portuguese Association of General Practitioners (APMCG) would like to propose the first virtual congress of General Practice that will take place in April, May and June 2008.

Our motto is scientific quality and the entrance is free of charge. We expect the participation of Medical students, Interns/GP trainees, General Practitioners/Family Doctors and of other specialties.

I will participate in the conference and will submit my work in one of the following categories, you can take it for granted.

• e-learning in General practice (this should be mine)
• Tackling acute disease
• Tackling chronic diseases
• Preventive medicine and early diagnosis
• The quality of Healthcare
• Technologies and Methods for the implementation of good practices
• open/free subjects
