 European School of Internal Medicine - Greenwich Maritime University, London: September 2009
The first European School in London attracted 73 delegates from over 30 countries, and was held in the historic surroundings of Sir Christopher Wren's Naval College in Greenwich. There was a full programme of clinical and scientific activities, but with a varied social programme which made the most of the beautiful Autumn weather. The format allowed plenty of interchange between residents both inside and outside the lecture hall, and many new friendships were formed. For details including the programme visit: www.esim2009.org

Candidates for the election of a new officer of the Executive Committee
As stated in our new statutes, adopted in October 2008, the Executive Committee
will welcome an additional member, without a specific position. This additional
officer will be elected for two years. Interested candidates need to be nominated
and seconded using this
form, that should then be returned to the EFIM Secretariat no later than
28 days before the election, so in this case the 3rd of October 2009.
Candidates are also invited to submit aims and CV to be circulated before the
vote.
Invitation to participate in the e-prime project
As presented by Antonio Baptista during the AC meeting in Istanbul, the E-PRIME
project is scheduled to be launched later this year. If you are willing to participate
in this project, please send your contact details and name of the hospital(s)
where a young internist less then 34 yo, resident of Internal Medicine, must
participate, during a whole month, in all clinical work, where all clinicians
talk must be done in English, unless the candidate speaks the local language.
In this early phase, only the countries that receive someone can apply to send
a resident abroad. Interested societies should reply to c.gutierrez@agshq.com
before August 31st 2009.
Candidates for the International Advisory Board for EJIM
EFIM Executive Committee and the Editorial Board of the European Journal of
Internal Medicine decided to newly create an International Advisory
Board for the official scientific organ of EFIM, in which each member
country should designate a representative. The goals of this Board are to advise
the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board on the strategies to be implemented
and followed to foster the journal itself, and to make it a leading journal
in the arena of internal medicine. Your choice should be based on a person that
will be felt as fully representing the country and your Society. We expect that
your designated member will participate at the yearly Editorial Board meetings,
that take place during the annual EFIM Congresses, but also that he/she triggers
the submission of articles to EJIM coming from the best scientific production
in internal medicine and associated subspecialties from your country.
Please inform us of the person designated by your society at your earlier convenience
to c.gutierrez@agshq.com
Young Internists Representatives
The young internists are still looking for representatives from member societies.
If your society has not nominated one yet, please transmit the contact details
of your national young internist representative(s) to c.gutierrez@agshq.com
Surveys on www.efimsurveys.org
There are some ongoing surveys on the EFIM dedicated webpage. If you haven’t
done so, please participate!
