About 18th European Congress of Internal Medicine
The theme of the congress is “Innovation in Health Care: New Opportunities for Internal Medicine”.
The choice of this theme was motivated by our conviction that the demographic evolution, the super-specialization trends and the growth of the healthcare costs underscores the need for a medical specialty with the characteristics of Internal Medicine and make emerge new challenges to the internists.
Topics like the future hospital, Internal Medicine worldwide, dedicated units, co-management of surgical patients, ambulatory medicine, palliative care, new models in emergency care, eHealth, medical education, narrative medicine, translating evidence into practice, health and social care, health outcomes measurement, as well as clinical themes like diabetes, heart failure, stroke, autoimmune diseases, infections associated with healthcare, hepatology, anticoagulation, clinical genetics, rare diseases, ageing, obstetric medicine, preventive medicine, new imaging techniques and others, will be highlighted.
