Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), the Internal Medicine Society of Australia and New Zealand (IMSANZ), and the International Society of Internal Medicine (ISIM) are pleased to invite you to attend the World Congress of Internal Medicine 2010, to be held in Melbourne, Australia on 20 – 25 March 2010. The Congress will be held in conjunction with the annual RACP Physicians Week.

The Congress will appeal to anyone who has an interest in the broad field of general internal medicine and in specialised internal medicine. The theme is World Medicine for the Next Decade: 2010 – 2020, and we will be showcasing excellence in Australasian Medicine and Medical Science. In addition, we want the Congress to celebrate the diversity of The Royal Australasian College of Physicians, its Divisions, Faculties and Chapters.

I hope that you will take this opportunity to network with your national and international peers and keep abreast of the latest developments in general internal medicine.  The program will offer a superb opportunity for physicians and medical specialists to attend expert updates on specialty areas outside their own specialty.

The RACP, IMSANZ and the ISIM look forward to welcoming colleagues from around the world at the World Congress next year.   I hope that you will find the time while you are here to incorporate a pre- or post-conference tour of Australia and New Zealand in your visit.
