The 2015 International Medical Congress
A Uniquely Comprehensive Update on Contemporary
Clinical Topics and Practice Management Issues
Florida International University College of Medicine, South Florida's only public medical school, is transforming the
future of public health and educational opportunity in the region. Created in 2006 amid pressing community health
concerns and a projected critical shortage of physicians nationally, the College of Medicine is developing a curriculum
that reflects an innovative, 21st century approach to health care and medical education.
The College of Medicine is advancing South Florida's health care dynamic by facilitating improved access to first-rate
medical care among our medically underserved populations and lead an economic impact that will eventually reach
more than $1 billion each year.
In keeping with this mission, The FIU College of Medicine will present the
International Medical Congress July 2-5, 2015 at the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach, FL.
An Exceptional Opportunity to Exhibit
The International Medical Congress is intended for primary care physicians, general internists, family practitioners,
osteopathic doctors, physician assistants, nurses, and healthcare providers interested in the latest information in the
fields of Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of the major diseases causing the largest morbidity and mortality. This
engaged audience will seek information to compliment their learning by visiting the congress’ exhibition hall.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with physicians from South Florida’s pillar institutions and around the
world!
