The 12th edition of the Congress of the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, to bring together over 5,700 participants, will take place October 24-26, at the Palace of the Parliament in the Capital City.
According to a press release sent to AGERPRES by the higher education institution on Wednesday, the event, which will take place under the slogan "Interdisciplinary perspectives," will mark a new stage towards academic performance and continuous medical education.
The congress will bring together doctors from all specialties, dentists, pharmacists, residents, PhD students, students, scientific researchers and, at the same time, personalities of Romanian medicine, who will be joined by prestigious lecturers from the USA, Finland, The Netherlands and Israel.
"Bringing together clinical and experimental medicine, dentistry and pharmaceutical sciences, the Congress offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the major pathologies we face and brings state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and prophylactic solutions to the entire medical community. I am convinced that each participant will find in the abundance of the scientific programme topics of maximum interest, having the privilege of interacting with formidable leaders of contemporary medicine, thus benefiting from a new exchange of experience and a substantial improvement of knowledge, in the spirit of interdisciplinary research, which exceeds traditional boundaries and promotes innovative approaches," stated university professor Viorel Jinga, PhD, rector of the "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest.
The opening ceremony of the Congress, during which representatives of important state institutions will take the floor, will take place on Thursday, at the Palace of Parliament.
