Welcome by the President.


Dear Colleagues and friends,

I am very honoured and pleased to invite you to visit Stockholm for the 9th meeting of the European Federation of Internal Medicine in September 21-24, 2010. The Congress is arranged in conjunction with the Swedish Society of Internal Medicine, celebrating its 105th anniversary during the Congress.

The theme for the Congress will be on updates in internal medicine, covering the broad field of general and specialized internal medicine, with a focus on priorities and quality control as well as on an individual patient-physician basis in the broader sense. With the complex diagnostic procedures and treatments under development it is increasingly important to consider patient safety and treatment effectiveness, avoiding treatment interactions, and to have a holistic view of the best for the patient.

I strongly believe that your participation in the Congress has an important role for the scientific discussions but also for making new friends in internal medicine in the growing European Society.

The Congress will take place in the central area in Stockholm, within walking distance from the hotels and City Centre. I am sure that the social events, including dinner in the City Hall (famous from the Nobel Prize award) will present to you the best of Sweden.

We will do our very best to make your visit to the 9th EFIM meeting a fruitful and memorable experience, also for the accompanying persons.

Looking forward seeing you in Stockholm in September 2010.

Dr. Thomas Kjellström
President of the 9th EFIM Congress.
