Program & Gala Dinner
This year’s program will focus on interactive clinical workshops where leading physicians will share their extensive experience and teach you the important clinical skills in three areas of medicine (we call them tracks): cardiology, endocrinology, and emergency medicine.
The program is divided into 3 parallel tracks, each having a morning session and an afternoon session. Each session has 3 workshops, totalling 6 workshops per track during the whole day. Each workshop has limited sports to ensure the best possible learning experience and will last 75-90 minutes. While we encourage you to attend all of the workshops in one track, you can choose to attend only one session (morning or afternoon) or combine one morning session with an afternoon session from another track.
You will also have a great opportunity to network with peers and speakers in between the workshops at our networking breaks and during the lunch break. Full program details coming soon!
At the end of the day, you can attend our Gala Dinner, where you will have a chance to meet all the speakers one-on-one, many attendees, as well as physicians and scientists from leading biomedical institutions in Croatia. Also, this year we are very proud of the participation of H. E. Nathalie Rayes, the US Ambassador to Croatia, who will join us to discuss about US-Croatia biomedical collaboration. All of this while enjoying great food and a fantastic atmosphere!
